Unsettled, potentially gassy month old baby

Our son is one month old and over the last couple of days there have been times he's been impossible to settle.

Mom Brain (but the good kind!)

What’s your mom super power? I can’t hear. I literally have hearing damage and can’t hear well when people talk to me. Yet I can always hear my baby. I know my baby’s sounds and can hear him from far away with background noise when others around me who typically hear way better can’t hear him.

Elective bottle feeding

I understand sometimes breastfeeding doesn't work out, but throughout my pregnancy midwives and health visitor would ask "are you planning to breastfeed or bottle feed?" Which led me to wonder, why on earth would someone *choose* to bottle feed without first giving breastfeeding a try?
