Are you paced feeding? What teat are you using? 8oz is a lot of milk.. I would introduce a dummy to satisfy after a feed x

It could be silent reflux and the milk is temporarily soothing his belly. Keep him upright for 30 mins after a feed wind regularly and see if it helps

what’s paced feeding ? we use mam teats 1 and he has a dummy but he doesn’t really like it

someone suggested reflux to me but i thought that meant he was sick after every feed and he is sometimes sick but not regularly

they don't have to be sick they could have silent reflux id look at the symptoms and see if there's any advice that can help

I would probably visit your GP as 8oz is a lot. I agree size 0 teat may help as it will make him work to drink a little bit more
