Awake all night

I could really do with some advice! I'm breastfeeding my 3 wk old dh who until recently was just waking every couple of hours during the night to feed before returning to sleep. Now she's awake and sporadically feeding from 1am until 9am then sleeping until past 1pm if I don't wake her then sleeping and sporadically feeding all day. During the night she will go down for about half an hour then squirm around and wake up crying until I put her back on the breast where she'll fall asleep again and the cycle starts again. I tried a dummy last night but that worked for a bit but she didn't seem very happy with it and I'd rather avoid it if I can (although I'll try anything at the mo!) She's really such a good baby but i'm finding the all nighters really hard and it's getting me down. My midwife told me not to wind her but I do if she seems uncomfortable as she's started to as she get a really distended tummy sometimes and the doctor thinks she may have reflux (she's thrown up several whole feeds several times). The doc has prescribed infant gaviscon but I'm not sure about giving it to her if the reflux isn't that bad. Sorry if this all sounds very obvious but I'm just too tired to see the whole picture.
