Ds is 6 weeks old and I need some advice. Breastfeeding didn't work out so we have switched to formula.
Was offering on demand but he can take 5oz every 1-2 hrs then bring some up. One day he polished off 48oz (very little came back up). Today I've been offering 6oz every 3 hours, he takes 5oz but the hour before feeding he screams ( he is the loudest child I have ever heard ).
He doesn't nap other than in the pram or in the car so I do either in between every feed. He is constantly over tired. He sleeps at night 8-7 waking twice for food and a nappy.
He doesn't seem to like being held anymore either. Can't use a sling as infected section incision. He's also huge at nearly 14lb. Height and weight all match up so not fat.
He is just not a contented baby at all. In fact, he's downright miserable most of the time and very loud about it. He gets hysterical very quickly and has damaged his vocal cords by screaming.
Can anyone advise how to make him happy please. I'm struggling.
