DD2 is 2 weeks old, and has just started getting very distressed after a feed. She's feeding very well (breast), but if she doesn't remain upright for about half an hour afterwards, she screams and screams - seemingly in pain.
The keeping her upright bit is fine if she's not needing to sleep, but if she is (and of course she is sleeping masses at the moment), it's proving very hard. Short of carrying her round in my arms, or propping her up in her chair, I don't know what to do.
It happens at all times of the day, and seems to come on 10-15 mins after being laid on her back. quite often she settles well and falls asleep, only to wake up screaming a short time later. She winds well and easily, so we've ruled this out. She also doesn't sick up her feeds and only possets a bit.
Anyone got any ideas? Could it be reflux, if she's not being sick?
