Baby Weight Gain and Something Else...

Okay...please forgive my ignorance...I'm a first time mom and I'd ask my sister, but she likes to exagerate everything and scare me. My two questions are: 1) My son is 5 1/2 weeks old. He was born at 7lb9oz, and today he was weighed at 11lb14oz. He's apparently in the 90th percentile for his weight. But I tried asking the dr if 4 1/2 lbs in almost 6 weeks was too much, but he ignored me. Did any of your children gain that much? I'm a little worried. He's formula fed, and he acts like nothing satisfies him. Sometimes, he'll cry and gnaw on...
