1st day on milk, waking up

Hey we've started transitioning baby to cows milk today. She normally sleeps through but has suddenly woken up and taken a good 10 mins to get back down. She seemed to go down then has woken back up screaming again. Maybe hungry?? Maybe uncomfortable? Has anyone experienced this? Any advice?

Am I feeding him too much?

Hi. This is purely a worry from reading another post but my baby boy is 1 month old today and he has at least 7/8 bottles a day and drinks anywhere between 3-5oz. Sometimes he’ll only have 1oz, usually on his midnight feed, but is this normal? I don’t want to be over feeding him.
