6 day old - Suddenly screaming unless feeding - Colic?

Until today she has fed every 3 - 4 hours in the day and every hour between 11pm and 4am.

This afternoon she has screamed as if in pain unless she is feeding (breast feeding). She is finally asleep.

Could it be colic? Im worried that she isnt getting enough milk from me with all of this feeding, could that be a cause?

Any tips or advice please?

I'd have the positioning and latch checked just in case she is getting frustrated but tbh I'd suspect it is fairly typical newborn behaviour. They like to feel close and comfort feed. They don't really get into any fixed pattern for a while I'm afraid, so one day it might be regular another day more frantic, for no discernible reason relating to supply or any specific problems such as colic.

A sign of colic is bring her knees up to her stomach... Is she doing this?
My DD2 had a little bit of reflux so as LeninGrad said perhaps raise her head end.

Well done you, keep going, it does get easier
