How much are we feeding our spooky babies?

I feed my son a 6oz bottle at 6 am then at 9am he gets babyfood. When 12 comes around he gets babyfood and after he lays down with a 6oz bottle. He wakes up a little before 3 and he gets those snack puffs or freeze dried yogurts thingys then a 6oz bottle. at 6pm he gets babyfood again then after bath at 7ish he lays down for the night with a 6oz bottle. He gets up at 1am and at 4am for another 6oz bottle. I got told by the nurse practitioner that im over feeding him but how if he is hungry. Im not going to let him cry and go hungry if he is.

I give him 6oz of formula when he gets hungry (usually anywhere from 5-6 times a day), and usually give him baby food once or twice a day 30min after a bottle in the afternoon. Its what my pediatrician recommended so that's what I'm doing. Probably going to start offering baby food 3x a day soon tho

Little one cries when my husband holds him

Our son is just over 5 weeks old, and for the past 2–3 weeks he cries almost every time my husband holds him. The only position he seems comfortable in is the “football” hold, but he won’t nap that way.

It’s becoming really stressful for both of us. I feel like I can’t properly nap, get ready, or let my husband settle him during the night without him crying, and I know it’s upsetting for my husband too. What makes it harder is that our son is happy and naps being held by other family members.

Is this something other parents have experienced, and does anyone have any advice or solutions that helped?

Does it drive you crazy wheb someone is talking on the phone using earbuds instead of holding the phone to their ear or on speaker?

It looks like they are talking to themselves at first.

Husband wants us to switch from breast to formula

My husband thinks that my breast milk isn’t good for the baby and that he’s wanting to eat too much and our first son drank formula. And he was such a good quiet barely cried baby. And this one had some bad baby acne it’s not that bad now but he’s still not even q month and I told him that happens but he brings up how our first had nice smooth skin. But I don’t think it has anything to do with the milk maybe more like each baby is different ? And he keeps referring to my milk as “poison” and it’s making me think it might be that? Any opinions on someone who did both ? And noticed any behavior changes ?

My 8 week old hasn’t pooped in 5 days, she is exclusively breastfeed and I know the can go days without but it seems like she’s trying to poo without success(seems to be trying to push ) . She’s farting a lot and I have been doing bicycle kicks and rubbing her belly and nothing. Is this normal
