recently my baby (who is 2 months old already doubled his birthweight and eats about 45 ounces of formula a day) has been sleeping all day and only getting up to eat. i can hardly keep him up for more than 2 hours throughout the day. i think he's just going through a growths spurt cuz he sleeps all day and still sleeps all night. sometimes he sleeps so soundly that i go in there just to make sure he's still breathing. he's already on cereal so that helps a little but sometimes he just refuses to eat his cereal. i dont know what to do. he's either sleeping eating or screaming.

It sounds like your baby needs a visit to his doctor. Your baby should be alert and wiggly more frequently than that. Also his weight gain is a concern - although it's great that he's so eager to eat, it sounds like there may be something off in there if he's eating and gaining so much weight. And, as many have said, you absolutely should STOP feeding your child solids. Believe it or not, breastmilk (and formula, more or less) provides ample nutrition for a child. Please go to a doctor!
