Calling All Moms! I need advice here...

So when will a baby begin over eating?  My son is 4 months old and 17lbs and 26 inches.  The Dr said he isn't concerned but that Little Bit will be a big boy.  DH was the size of a preschooler at 2 years old so I imagine this kid will be too.  He eats ALL the time!  Every 2-3 hours he has a 4oz bottle.  It was 6oz but we have scaled him back.  He can't have solids until at least 6 months because I have horrible food allergies.  Today he has been SCREAMING bloody murder when he is hungry which has been about every 2 hours.  Maybe it's a growth spurt {again} but I wanted to make sure I wasn't teaching him to comfort eat.  I'm really bad about that and I know at some age kids begin learning that habit.  4 months is too young for that right?  I just don't want him to associate the bottle with calming down.  Have any advice?  When should I stop feeding on demand?  Thanks mamas!
Here he is kinda curled up in my lap.
Not so happy in his car seat.  Which, by the way, he is about to out grow at 4 months!
Being held by daddy.  That is a 6'4 man there!  His arm length is almost as long as my leg people.  Is this baby huge or are there others like him?  People think I am lying when I say he is 4 months old.  I just don't know.

EDIT:  I think he just had a nightmare... he was napping and it is completely silent in here.  All of a sudden he freaked out!  Maybe he was having nightmares last night with his once an hour wake ups?  Hmm... I just don't know.
