No one can predict if your baby will get diabetes or not. It depends on a number of factors like lifestyle habits, genetics etc etc.
Regarding baby's present weight... Most babies double their birth weight by 5 to 6 months of age. Ideally it is better to exclusively breastfeed your baby. Overfeeding may occur when formula feeds are given.
