Will it get better

I have a 5 week old boy and he just always seems grouchy and windy. I swapped his formula from aptimal to Kendamil and he seems a bit better but always hungry he has a feed of 150ml
every 2 hours never really gets to 3 hours midwife wasn't concerned as hes not throwing them up and hes gaining weight.
Is this "normal" ?
Just feel like i dont get enough hours in the day its just feeds, getting bottles ready as quick as they are gone change and sleep.i do t get much bonding time with him for him to sit and listen and stare etc.

Normal at 5 weeks they can feed every 2hrs as the stomachs are tiny still, my girl was doing this she’s on Aptamil still. She’s 8 weeks on Wednesday and she’s started giving me a bit longer in the night so bedtime feed is 9pm then she will have another 1am and then 5/6am but she can eat loads in the day still so every 2/3hrs she was born early. I go with the back of the box on feeds so 150ml with 5 scoops is right you just have a hungry bubba but that’s good! I burp her half way through a feed and use Infacol before every feed to help get the wind up I have done since birth xx

Thank you ❤️it makes me feel a bit better that this is normal and just get reassurance from other mums xx

I have a 6 week baby girl also on Kendamil now and in the day she doesn’t always get to 3 hours. She takes 120ml and sometimes by 1.5/2 hours she’s screaming for milk 😂 you’re not alone! 🥰 xx

My baby is 7 weeks also on 150ml Kendamil and is the exact same!

Postpartum Hair Loss

Hey moms,
I'm about 2 and a half months postpartum and I have noticed a lot of hair loss ! Is anyone struggling with that or that has struggled with that have any tips ? This momma would greatly appreciate it !

Struggling

My baby just turned 3 weeks and although I was doing so well at the start, I feel like I’m being worn down now. I’m exclusively breastfeeding and my life being constant 2 hour increments of feeding, burping, changing and trying to soothe a fussy baby, then grabbing whatever scraps of sleep I can when he goes down is so exhausting. One of my boobs has now started hurting (not the nipple, the boob itself) and I’m so stressed at night trying to get through without my partner waking as he has work the next day. I’m not sure what I’m asking for, I suppose I’m just venting to feel less alone. I’m so grateful to have my baby, but this is so hard and I’m scared.

Stroller recommendations

Hi everyone

Can I please ask for stroller reviews from anyone who loves their strollers especially if you push it on cobblestones or rough terrain.

I have a mama’s and papas Flip TX3 which I absolutely hate! Everytime I use it I get back pain from steering it. It’s also super bumpy and makes me worry about baby but she seems not to mind. Baby is 4 months and we have only used it 5 times. If you have a Flip TX3 , does it get better when baby is older and can sit up?

I chose it because of the lie flat option as I didn’t get a bassinet and also because its foldable and we live on the first floor.

I really need something which is those two things but with great suspension.

Thank you
