Overfeeding baby?

[Juniper]

Hello! I got baby Henry last Wednesday. He is a little over three months old and a great eater. I'm following the guidelines about how much to feed babies (as many bugs as they'll eat in ten minutes a couple times a day, as much salad as they want which probably won't be much), but I just wonder if it is too much because he is just goin' for it and eating what seems like a staggering amount of food and growing very fast. This seems like probably good news, but I just want to make sure. So far, he's had mustard greens, dandelion greens, finely grated butternut squash, bsfl, and dubias a little smaller than the space between his eyes. He gets fed three times a day (I heard you should break it up into a greater number of smaller feedings when they're little so they don't eat too much at once and get impacted) and goes to town each time--several bites of veggies first, and then 20 or so dubias and a few tiny worms. He does a big poop every afternoon, so I know he's not getting impacted.

But this guy was 51 grams when I got him five days ago and now he is 62. Both weights were taken after a dinner that was preceded by an afternoon poop, so he was the same level of full. Is that a healthy amount of weight to gain in that time, or am I feeding him too much? He runs and jumps a lot and his tummy does not drag when he runs, which I know is the measure of an overweight adult, but he does have a chunky little torso. (If he is eating too much, I'd still much rather have that than the opposite problem, which I've had before, knock on wood.)

I sounds like your giving him the right amount -- if the insects are a little smaller than what he can eat that would be why hes eating so many - hes going to eat till hes full -
