3 month baby sleep and gas problem
My 3 month baby falls asleep but not stays asleep for more than 15-30 min in daytime. He takes 8-9 hours of sleep at night(with feeding breaks). He has gained weight and wetting more than 8 diapers daily. But he wants to take feeding at almost every hour. I'm mostly breastfeeding him, twice or thrice a week I need to give him formula bottle if he seems very hungry. My breastmilk comes for 10-15 mins in one time, after that if i press and check, there is no milk coming so if he is awake, I change the side. He is also passing gas (farting and crying at the same time) very much, mostly more than 15-20 times a day(every time we take him on our shoulder for burping or put him down on bed ). I'm confused about what I'm doing wrong here.

No need to worry it’s completely normal biology, at 3 months there are many things happen, as per your question they called cat naps, they unable to connect cycles,when wake up , don’t disturb more, feed sleep rock and put him sleep ; another 2-4 wks sleep cycles will increase.Continue same , increase burping time,cry also normal.
