May be he is a bit dehydrated. Babies who have formula should have water too, especially with heat we had recently.
Also he might go through 5-7weeks crisis. It's when baby starts see better and starting to get worried if he is not seeing mommy near.
For formula fed baby dark green stool consider normal. Try to massage his tummy (just going round clockwise direction) before each meal. It will helps with bloating

Yeah I've been given him 3oz of water daily and massaging belly as it is bloated due to trapped wind but I've been trying colief and that has helped with pooping as it has gone back yellow color and he has been more alert but still sometimes struggles to poo but soon as I've given the water hes ok after and has another bottle then falls to sleep also bathing at night before bedtime which is soothing and helps also playing white noise but have got HV soon so see what she recommends with his milk or what not
