7 week old wakes 2 minutes after falling asleep

has anyone experienced similar as I can’t find anything online and gp seems confused by it all.

My 7 week old baby is ebf. Since day 1 in all his sleep day or night he groans and grunts. Not normal newborn stuff, like really loud n pushes like he’s trying to poop but hes not constipated. He nuzzles his face into my chest or shoulder like hes in agony and always wakes crying couple minutes in and then I have to resettle n rock ad sway all over again to get him back to sleep. Im exhausted and also have a two year old toddler to tend to.

The nights are much worse. Im getting about 2 hours of sleep if im lucky. He only sleeps upright on me.Hes on omeprazole for his silent reflux but my god this is torture even for him. He is so tired from not getting rest. Just wandered if any other mums had some advice because I can’t go on like this.

Have you tried white noise? Not gentle white noise but like your phone playing it full volume within 50cm of his head? It seemed to help mine zone out into sleep but some of the actual baby white noise machines are way too wimpy!

We had some molar with our DC1 @Khalilsmama and it turned out to be Tongue Tie.

I can remember now how utterly exhausted I was.

Does your LO have any of these symptoms? Flowers
