Worried about my staffy pup's weight

Oh he's gorgeous :D

I think as he seems so bright and happy, plus your vet is happy with him then I wouldn't worry. When you next go in though, perhaps just voice your concerns. he may just be the smallest of the litter.

Was he from 2 Staffy parents? Or could he be a crossbreed?
Has he been wormed?
 
Lots of soothing chew toys. I think Nylabones are supposed to be good for pups.
If she is biting you too much/getting over excited. Use something like "Ah ah" or a high pitched "Ouch" (ouch doesn't work all the time, sometimes it excites them more!) and re-direct her to a toy.

Stuffed frozen kongs are good too as they are time consuming and the cold is soothing.
