Our little boy is four weeks old today. Not sure if it affects things differently but he was born at 37+5 and was an crash section. He was 5'11oz when born and is now around 7lb.
Our issue is he doesn't seem to settle between feeds or sleep for long periods and we're just not sure this is normal! I BF for a couple of weeks and he was bottle fed on a night from day three. I changed to formula feeding full time after this. He is currently on Aptimil first milk. He is sometimes having one bottle after another and is taking 120ml at each feed. He is exceeding the recommended amount of bottles on the side of the carton by a lot! We did try hungry baby milk but that didnt seem to satisfy him much either. He brings a little milk up sometimes but a great deal. He seems to be winding ok. He is having plenty of wet and dirty nappies and is gaining weight.
We thought he was perhaps having a growth spurt or catching up from being a bit early but not worried something's wrong! Any help gratefully received!
