Reflux?

So my baby is sinking 6oz bottles every 3 hours, he’s 7 weeks tomorrow and his birth weight was 8lb 6 and last week weighed 12lb 4. After every bottle he is just really unsettled and I just don’t think it’s hunger as he’s drinking A LOT! He is quite sick and the sick looks a bit like cottage cheese (sorry TMI) then it could be a few hours after feeding he is sick like water he is always like scrunching up after his feeds… he is on aptamil stage 1 and has been since born.

Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be reflux? Or anything else?

Sorry that you haven't had any replies on this one before @LWestYorks. How are you both now?

Is LO any more settled?

@SiouxsieSiouxStiletto hey! He is pretty unsettled on an evening before bed between like 6-9pm 😤 I’m pretty sure he has a bit of reflux as his sick is also either like water or like cottage cheese!

Sounds like my little ones reflux. She also had some silent reflux as well. We were prescribed carobel from the GP that thickens the milk and it worked a treat. Turned out she has CMPA but the carobel defo helped the sickness
