Thank you for your query
Newborn babies crying after wetting or pooping is perfectly okay and you don’t need to worry
If babies are bottle fed early they try to avoid bread feeding. This is called as nipple confusion
This is because the milk flow in bottle is faster and so easier for him than breastfeeding and so he prefers bottle feeding
His weight gain is good so don’t worry
My suggestion
Try to breast feed him as much as possible
You should Take lots of fluids and fresh vegetables and soups
Reduce stress
