10weeks and feeding gone mad - advice!

My LO is 10 weeks and had been BFing well and we had even got to the stage of her sleeping for 6 hours after last night feed. However we introduced a bottle for last feed and I expressed, she was still fine. Changed this bottle to formula (Hipp) for various reasons. She now takes bottle no prob but then only sleeps for 3-4 hours and seems to have developed really bad wind which wakes her up.
I don't know whether to persevere, change formula or if this is just a growth spurt. In general her feeds have got closer together over the last 2 weeks during the day as well.

It sounds a bit like a growth spurt.

I'm not sure on the Hipp as I've never used it, but I do know about bfing.

My DS is 14 weeks and I remember when he was 11 weeks he was demented for food and was sooo hungry feeding all the time for almost a week!

It was hard going, but I tried not to lose my mind and just went with the flow and honestly once he hit 12 weeks he rounded a corner and is a dream now

Like you I give DS a formula bottle for his last feed, but during the growth spurt I didn't up the number of ff I gave, just kept it to 1 a day and bf as much as he needed.

Good luck!
