Formula feeding 8 week old

My son turned 8 weeks old today and for the last 3/4 days he’s been eating 6 ounces every 3/4 hours. Today he drank 7 bottles in 24 hours, is this too much?
I am feeding on demand, he is pretty much finishing them all (leaves a bit of foam)

He is on anti reflux milk and isn’t bringing anything up!

He was weighed today and he is 11lb 8oz and the midwife had no concerns with his weight gain.

My girl is 19 weeks old and was at one week eating similar amount. I think it was a growth spurt as it dropped a bit to 6 bottles of 5 oz now.
QQ I just started the anti reflux formula and it’s giving her so much wind. Did you have this too?

Social media babies sleeping 10 hours+

Please tell me I’m not the only mom who’s baby still isn’t sleeping thru the night.
My son is gonna be 6m soon and I keep on saying videos saying he should already be sleeping thru the night no wakings to feed. He eats like how he does during the day, wakes every 3 hours, he very quickly goes back to sleep.
We’re not interested in doing any kind of harsh sleep training, we just have a good nighttime routine and just attend to our baby when he calls for us
Any other moms sleep waking up with their babies? And when did your baby (non sleep training) start sleeping thru the night or at least longer stretches.

Babies must know when we sacrifice for them

It’s 1000 degrees outside and I have a stomach flu but I strapped my baby to my chest and went for a walk anyway because she was fussy. The whole walk she was cooing, kicking her legs, and overall in a fantastic mood. Now that we’re home I’m convalescing on the couch while she plays with her toys in peace.

Bedroom 😴🍼👶

Just lying on my bed with my 4 month old in his next to me crib, and wondering when I should move him into his own room … my partner has been telling me to do it for a while as he sleeps 8:30am to 6:30am without waking, he is on the larger side so I don’t think he will be in the next to me for much longer but I just don’t want to move him too early 🫣😩

Partner rant

So we sleep separate during the week we did with my first 2 as he works I do
All the night feeds. My only rule was he has to do the last feed and get him to sleep and bring him up it’s usually bring him to bed at 10pm. He’s now started moaning that he’s tired cause he’s been at work and got up for the gym at 5.30am which I said you chose to go the gym at that time. I don’t ask for any help with the night feeds and I have him all day sometimes I have my 2.5 year old to twice in the week alone also when she’s not at nursery am I being unreasonable that he should be doing the last feed and brining him bed cause he’s making me feel like crap about it

12m son keeps purposely banging his head

My son is almost 13 months old and he has been purposely hitting his head repeatedly on things like the tile floor or glass back door for apparently no reason. I stop him and he throws a fit.

I’ve googled it and it seems normal for some babies.

Has anyone’s baby done this and when do they stop!?
