Bottle feeding issues - 8 week old baby

My son has been FF from day 1, and for the first few weeks was a dream to feed. Then he started having problems with wind, and we started him on infacol. This seemed to reduce his episodes of pain, but he still had a ridiculous amount of wind.

I changed his milk from sma to HiPP Organic, and this bottles from avent to mam. He still had a crazy amount of wind, burps and farts constantly, but not much pain.

Now in the last couple of weeks he goes mad when I take the bottle out to wind him. Some bottles he keeps all of it down, some he seems to puke up the entire bottle (prob does this once a day) He has also started screaming in the middle of the night, and will either fart and immediately stop crying, or I lift him and he will burp and fart a lot and go straight back to sleep.

He is gaining weight fine but feeding time is difficult and he generally is cranky.

So is this just a typical baby or is there a problem? Health visitor wasn’t concerned by any of it.

Could be reflux? In which case keep him upright after feeds, buy a wedgehog for Moses basket/cot and /or ask Gp to try medication

8weeks is a VERY fussy time! It could be normal or there could be more too it. Have you read up on they symptoms of CMPA? Does any of that fit?
