DS is 3 1/2 weeks,and is very unsettled overnight, sometimes screaming for a burp, sometimes he seems to have colicky wind iyswim.
He's demand BF, but only wants feeding about half of this time at the most overnight.

This is my third child, and nos 1 and 2 woke hourly to two hourly overnight for feeds, so I don't have a problem with the frequent night waking er se.

He isn't a particularly vomity baby in terms of volume, but often possets small amounts of curdled milk, and winces at the taste, esp at night.

I would be grateful for opinions, if it sounds like just wind I will go with it, but I would feel awful if with hindsight I missed reflux I could have sorted out.

TIA

My DD 13 wks was diagnosed with silent reflux about 6 weeks ago. She had been screaming in pain lots but was only sick very ocassionally and only v small amounts. She did do this strange gasping like noise and then smacked her mouth/lips in disgust which we now presume to be the taste of the acid. She got progressively worse from first symptoms at just over 2 weeks until she started her meds and then she became a diff baby! She seemed to constantly feed and then refuse feeds/scream a lot of the time, apart from at night which was when she was at her best.

Good luck xxx
