Have you tried breastfeeding?
What do you mean he wakes up hungry. That is what infants do. They eat every 1-3 hours

He shouldn’t be having milk, either breastmilk or formula. And at six weeks, he should be having a bottle or being nursed every 2-3 hours, 4 at the most. I really hope this question is a joke. If it isn’t, please go see the pediatrician and ask for help and go take a parenting class.

Did your pediatrician tell you goats milk is OK? I know my gramma had a baby on goats milk way back when, but now there are formulas that are specially made for your situation. I don’t think ANY kind of pure animal milk is healthy for an infant. He might have a tummy ache and that is why he is having trouble sleeping. Try the special formula and see if he sleeps better. Remember, new babies eat a LOT!!

A six week is way to young to be on milk, goats milk, ect, they should be breast fed or formula. Did your pediatrician tell you to give the baby milk? This seems odd to me.
Baby’s should be fed every 2 to 4 hours, they know when they are hungry and they cry.
