Crying when feeding/in evenings - I thought we'd got through this!!

My DD is 15 weeks. We had a really horrific first seven weeks when she would scream ALL day as though in agony and refuse to feed. We were totally on the brink of despair when it magically got better, literally overnight.

Now I fear the problem is back... She feeds for about 2 mins and then pulls herself off crying. After a couple of times doing this, she has a total hysterical meltdown and then finally feeds ok. I have very fast flow and letdown so that my milk jets across the room even if block feeding... But it still does this at night, when she feeds fine. Help! It is really getting me down - I seem to sepnd all my time torturing a baby with my bosom while getting soaked in milk...

DS used to do this all the time, it was a nightmare - he had reflux (not always sick either but the acid comes up thier throat causing them pain)....could this be it?

We thought it was reflux before, but infant Gaviscon didn't seem to make much difference...

It didn't do much for my DS either and in the end he grew out of it....

Watching this thread, as I am finding my 5 week old ds does exactly this. Have been wondering if it is extreme wind, rather than reflux, so just about to search to see if what I eat can affect his wind perhaps, so I can change my diet to help him.
