Is my little man eating too much?

My baby boy is almost 3 weeks old and during the day he eats 2-3 oz every 2-2 1/2 hours and at night he eats about every 4-5 hours but he wants 4 oz bottles. He eats about 26 oz a day on the average day i would say. Is this too much? He does not spit up but sure gets fussy if you try to make him wait on a bottle even for the time it takes to warm it up! His doctor said his weight gain is great so far. It just seems like he is always hungry!

    no way he is doing great a baby that young of age should, as because he has to get used to eating outside of the uterus .

    He's probably just growing fast. But this is another reason why breast feeding is better than bottle feeding- they can't eat too much when breast feeding.
