Breastfeeding & frustrated

My baby eats for a few minutes 4-6 times an hour. I haven’t slept in a week. I don’t know what to do. He refuses to take a bottle and will not eat long enough to get full. He wants to constantly feed with a few minutes between. I’m so frustrated and want to give up but we’ve tried 3 formulas and he won’t take it. 😭

Drinking less formula

My little one is 5 months and has not started solids yet, but she seems less interested in her formula. She still drinks enough throughout the day, but it's less per feeding. Could that be a sign that she is ready for solids?

With my first, my girl had jaundice and had to try nursing, I pumped, then formula every single time she ate to get her to poop so the bilirubin would come out.
