Hi,you should have been given a diet sheet from your breeder but anyway this is what I would give a Lab puppy at that age Buy a good quality puppy food for example pedigree chum complete puppy/skinners puppy/eukanuba then give as follows

breakfast: complete food (as above) soaked with excess water poured off not to sloppy and dont serve hot allow to cool down and I would add to it cooked mince or chum puppy meat.
Lunch :Same
Tea : Same
Supper: Same
OR!!! substitute one meal with rice pudding/wheetabix )no sugar) or scrambled eggs
this doesnt give any dietry benefit but will help him adapt to differing tastes.
Then when he is a few weeks older knock of one meal and increase volume of others and eventually he will be on two meals a day say at five months.Remember to be sure to worm him regularly.
Labrador grow at a rate of knotts and you must bear in mind though he is big in body he has a baby brain dont expect too much too soon,be firm but kind in everything you teach him.
Always have some toys or chewy type toys available when he is mouthing (your hand)speak harshly and firmly No!! and gently put a finger in the soft flappy side of his mouth and gently touch the roof of his mouth he should let go and give him a toy or similar.
Always What you teach him now will carry through when he is older,dont allow too much giddy play especially with children,and always remember whats funny now with a cute puppy is not funny when he weight five or six stone theres nothing worse than a full grown labrador jumping up at people.
Good luck.
