Colic, gas or hungry

Wait, feeding every hour to two isn't normal??? Mine is 9w and has been doing it since birth (every hour for 5-12mins) and during the initial 'growth spurts' he ate more than that and for longer...

My baby cries intensely out of nowhere usually because of gas. I would try doing massages when that happens and maybe the gas drops after a feed (I haven't noticed them helping all that much compared to massages but won't hurt to try?).

He's just hungry

Gripe water helped mine x

With gas or reflux sometimes you can hear the milk sloshing around your baby’s stomach or the baby gags a lot. Or cries for long and is hard to soothe. Or screaming in pain when lying down flat from reflux. Those were the signs of reflux that my child had.

But every 1-2 hours is normal for feeding they go through many growth spurts. You can try rocking your baby in a carrier or going outside to sleep might calm your baby down. I noticed she calmed down when she was outside. The fresh air helps them a lot
