    He is probably teething.
    We have seen this a lot and it's enough to make you
    want to rush them to the emergency room.
    You might notice this for a couple more feedings
    and then it will disappear.
    Let us know if it continues, but I suspect it won't.

    Now that he has opened his eyes... change him to a 4 hour schedule.

    Call the day he opened his eyes officially his '5 week birthday'.

    He is going to act a lot more hungry... demanding more and more... let him have up to 8% of his body weight per feeding.
    He is also going to get a lot of belly fat. He will look a bit bloated. If you can press on his tummy before a feeding and feel space, he is not bloated.. just fat.

    In a week from now his routine of eating up to 8% will stop, and he will start refusing some of it.
    That will be a clue to shift him to a 5 hour schedule.
    Each week he will play this same game.. voracious appetite for a week, then picky, requiring another change in meal times.
