Laurie responded to Ingrid, very helpfully I thought,

<< I would recommned baby be evaluated by a pediatrician or
 like health care provider, but don't stop or even limit the bf. yes i agree
 babies should self-regulate under normal circumstances.  >>

To make what I take to be Laurie's point even clearer:   The "excessive"
nursing and weight gain are not problems in themselves, and so should not be
treated in any way.  But they may be signs of something else that is a
problem, such as an allergy.  If that's the case, treating the underlying
problem may reduce these signs as well.
