My 5 weeks old baby wants milk 100ml every hour. He has reflux but we don’t want to start Gaviscon as can cause constipation. We were told that that’s too much milk but he refuses to even sleep. We try every technique to soothe him so he don’t ask for more milk but he acts like he’s starving, will cry incessantly and will have hunger cues like rooting and putting his hand in his mouth.

Have you tried more milk less often? If that makes sense. My boy will be 5 weeks on wed. He has 5oz bottles now goes between 3 and 4 hours each feed. Sometimes he’ll leave some. Before we moved from 4oz to 5 oz he wanted more after an hour.
