Harley is barely 4lbs. he is about 1.75 years old. and he's been a pig lately, he's being exercised a little bit more, but his appetite has really increased.

So I'm wondering how much food your tiny babies eat per day? I used to free feed, but now I measure, I just don't want to under feed him.

He eats:
-1/8 cup heaping in the morning/night of NOW! grain free kibble
1 "ice cube" thawed of sardines in the morning/night

so he's eating over 1/4 cup a day now plus sardines, if it is a training day he eats a lot of treats. Now I have started reducing food treat amounts and using a toy, maybe he's just more hungry because of that...

If I increase it a little will he be eating too much? What I do is a fill little containers with 1/8 cup kibble and try to only give him 2 a day, yesterday he went through 3 of them (1 at 8am, 1 around 2pm and 1 around 8pm)

Just wanted to check and see what amounts your tiny ones are eating.
