6 week growth spurt or something else?

My baby is 6 weeks tomorrow and for the last couple of days he has been so fussy. He cries red in the face during wake windows, so hard to settle. Its not gas because he farts and burps like an old man and he is on dentinox. He sleeps at night, but the days are so long. I thought it may be reflux but then I read that week 6 is the worst .. has anyone else experienced the dreaded week 6 growth spurt? Is this what it is like? I'm thinking of going to the GP to discuss reflux? Shall I wait and see it out?

Breast and formula

My baby is 9 weeks old and we are now forumula feeding however, we started off combi feeding. When she was born, I was on blood pressure medication which delayed my milk coming through so I was topping her up with a bottle. She was then then jaudice and had phtotherapy. She could only be off the lights for half an hour at a time, so bottle was more efficient for her. This was a really stressful time and I spoke to the midwives about just formula feeding as my milk hadn't come and I wasn't in the headspace at the time. They encouraged me to express so then my milk came. I started to express and BF however, the expressing at home was awful and wasn't helping my mental health. I was BF but she would want more after and became really fussy at the breast, she would tug and shake it but nothing would come. I would then top her up. She eventually weaned herself off the breast and took a bottle much better. I now find myself getting really sad when I see other people successfully BF their baby. I know everyone's journey is different and formula feeding has allowed my husband ti share the load a bit and for me to get out the house, but I can't help feeling down about it all.

Had sex with husband and hes easier to be around

I mean....we were not intimate for years because I wasnt feeling it but we started being intimate these past two months and boy I tell you. Like a changed man. Is this really how easy it is??

Baby sleep

I have posted recently about my baby who just doesn’t like to sleep and having an issue with 4am wake ups. People suggested putting to bed later however nothing is changing. I’m exhausted and don’t know what else to do. Why do I have a baby that just doesn’t sleep

Shoe size??

Am I the only one that has a hard time having shoes for my daughter. She has two pair of shoes that she wears but I wanted to find her a different pair of sandals and I can’t find any in her size. She wears a size 3 in infant shoes.

“Like seriously people I can’t help that my baby has small feet.”

Sleeping in day

My baby is 9 weeks old she sleeps great at night time ! 10 pm to around 5-6 am no wake ups which is great however in the day she just does not sleep she is wired ! She’ll be calm in the morning but once it hits about 1 pm she just cries pretty much till bed time when I took her to the drs they just said she’s healthy babies cry which I get , I thought maybe she’s sleeping to much at night time so I tried waking for feeds but she doesn’t wake ….
Sometimes she’ll go down for like 20 min nap but I can’t even get her to sleep on me which before she would any one have any tips for naps in the day ☹️🩷

Does anyone else’s husband’s hump them when they are dead asleep?

I know this is a weird question but some nights my husband will be dead to the world asleep but hump me and groan in my ear. And he’s truly asleep cause I can tell the difference, it wakes me up through the night and I’ve woken him up before thinking he was awake and he didn’t realize he was doing it, he’d kiss my forehead and genuinely apologize before going back to sleep and trying to make sure he wasn’t pressed up against me. He feels super guilty about it in the morning and apologizing, truly not realizing he was doing it. But I want to know if this is normal or a sleep disorder😭
