If the child is adequately gaining weight and sleeping for 1 to 2 hours after feeds then there is no cause for concern.
The increased frequency is quite common due to hyperactive gastro-colic reflux.
Simyl MCT is medium chain triglycerides and helpful in building weight.
Continue giving him for 2 months.
Take care
