Reflux/wind or something else?

Hi,
I have a 2.5 week old who is EBF at the moment. Just recently she has started really fussing at the breast. She twists and turns and groans. She pushes the breast away and generally seems quite uncomfortable.
I have a DS who was FF and suffered horrible reflux for a year and am worried that these symptoms could be reflux in my DD.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Could it just be wind - all the twisting means she breaks her latch and may swallow more wind.
She often seems uncomfortable in general and wont sleep anywhere apart from on me or dh!
I'm really worried that she will not get enough milk and i will have to stop breastfeeding.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi there... I am experiencing exactly the same - my DS is now 7 weeks. Unfortunately I too have no idea what it is - we've tried colic remedies (Colief being the only one that seems to touch it, but it's a faff when EBF and doesn't exactly stop the symptoms - just eases them), cranial osteopathy (2nd appt tomorrow - no improvement so far), and are now thinking it may be reflux.
Sorry none of that is any help, but I wanted to say you're not alone!
Hopefully someone else can shed some light...?
