TSH 8 for a newborn is not high so just stop worrying about it... If you still are very much concerned then get it repeated at 3 to 4 weeks of age along with FT4. The values of FT4 & TSH are different from the value ranges of adults.
As far as feeding is concerned try feeding him 2hourly and it should be bowl & spoon feed for formula feeds don't use a bottle.
However the mother milk is the best and usually is more than sufficient for a baby if the baby is passing 8 to 10 times urine and sleeping well.

Follow correctly the steps of mixing the formula milk
