oh don't worry, it's just a growth spurt. don't worry about him getting obese. my 15-week old son is like your son when he was 8-week old too. we gave him pacifier when he started to make noise about 2.5hrs and only gave him milk when it's 3hrs. also 150ml. now he's drinking 180ml every 4-5hour. he was 64cm and 7.1kg when he was 13 week old.

yup, I also use pacifier to my son when it is not the milk time yet. sometimes babies cry because of seeking sense of security. Pacifier can calm and sooth them.

dont wry. every baby is diffe. somemore urs is drinking at 3hrs interval. mine used to drink 120-150 within 2 hrs. sometimes 1.5hrs.. as long as bb didnt vomit (as in merlion type), means u're not overfeeding. ds was a michelin but nw he started to slim slim eversince he started to walk. so dont wry =)
