Newborn caregiving questions

Hi mummies, I have some questions if the community can share your experiences and advices pls! My bb is currently 5weeks old 1)How do I gauge the amount of milk I should feed him? Accord to research he Shld be taking 100-120ml. But he kept spitting out milk and having difficulty to burp though we tried many methods of burping/ helping him to release gas e.g. bicycle stretches 2) it seems like my bb has alot of gas, not sure why. Any better methods of releasing gas? We tried applying Ru Yi oil, added Riwind Med into his milk .. 3) he seems to sleep very well during day time but not so wee hours onwards. Anyone experienced this too? Can share advices pls? Thank you all in advance!

You can try giving baby abit of gripe water, it will help with the gas. You can also apply or rub a drop of ruyi oil at baby's tailbone area after shower. For burping, holding baby upright with his head on your shoulders, works well. Baby won't burp immediately however takes time.

Thanks L C! Yesss we’ve been applying ruyi oil on his stomach and feets too. I’ll usually do all the possible burp positions after each feed, only works sometime ~ I guess I jus have to persevere and persevere !!!
