Is this a normal transition?

Ni

So our baby boy is 6 months. With his checkup this week they told us to transition to the next formula (6mo+) which should help with how much he's been eating because he had over 9 oz per feeding which in his last checkup made them wonder if he needed more nutritious formula but they eventually decided it wasn't necessary.

So the new formula is supposed to be more nutritious but he's been drinking more of it.

He also eats a lot of vegetable puree.

What I feel is weird is that he's having a more nutritious formula and drinking more of it and actually since the new formula he's been asking for an extra feeding in the morning (where he usually was up and fed at 8am he's now waking up at 4 to 5 am for a bottle and then needs another at 9am etc to continue his normal schedule...)

I kinda think that's weird but I guess writing it down and wondering what advise I might give myself.. I think I would conclude a growth spurt is coming or something teeth-ish?

I don't want him to have a growth spurt! 😭

I want him to be my little baby at least for a while..

But he's my big boy and that's fine 😊 I just feel like our baby skipped the baby stage 😂

Otherwise he's healthy and hitting all necessary milestones and having pretty decent sleep schedule so 🤷🏻‍♀️
