So dd2 is 5 weeks old. Up until recently she was so easy and settled. Would drink her bottle (4-5oz) and then just go back to sleep, or be awake but content.
The last few days she's started bringing back up parts of feeds during and after the feed. Whereas before apart from the odd dribble, she never brought any up.
Furthermore it seems like she hardly ever sleeps! I know she's tired and I stroke her head and talk to her or cuddle her, she closes her eyes and drops off and then 10 minutes later she's awake and crying again! She seems to stay awake now after a feed and be crying or sleep 10minute stints. Until its time for the next feed and then repeat!
I've currently got her in a sling as a last resort and she's now zonked. However this is not going to be any help come bedtime.
Any advice? Is this normal for this age? Should I phone GP?
