Do the sugars in baby formula have a relaxing effect on the baby compared to breast milk?”
Breast milk contains everything a baby requires both nutritionally and in terms of safeguarding it from any viruses to which it might be exposed. The breast is also the best delivery system. If you haven’t tried to breast feed naturally, please do! If for some reason this isn’t practical stay with the breast milk in a bottle system. Nutrition isn’t what soothes babies anyway, calm nurturing, soothing sounds, cuddling all do. Some babies love to be swaddled longer than others. Perhaps yours is one of them. Also, this is about the time that some babies start to teethe and that is a painful process. If he’s teething there is precious little you can do to help. I remember trying freezing teething rings. This is really a question best asked of your pediatrition. Good luck!
