My Logan was a big baby too. He's 8lbs at 6months now. At 9 weeks we were feeding him between 3/8 & 1/2 cup of dry food a day. We would feed him a little over an 1/8 of a cup 3 times a day at 7:30, 12:00, and 5:00. At 3 1/2 months we upped him to 3/4 of a cup and at 5months we moved him to just under a cup. Really watch his body. If you are feeding him too little you will see ever bone in his body, if you are feeding him too much he will look somewhat like a little pot bellied pig. You want to be able to just barely see his ribs that's healthy and remember he's a growing boy, but 1 1/2 cups at this age is too much. I have a piggy too that would eat everything if I let him. Remember to figure in treats and scraps when figuring out his daily allowance. We use just a piece of food when he potties has a treat. We also use cherrios sometimes which he really likes.
