Hi!
I’m new here but would really like some advice, as I don’t know where to turn.
Baby boy is currently just over two weeks old. We are struggling with his feeds. He will drink his bottle happily, but as soon as he is finished he is miserable. He screams out, goes red and tenses, does some strange grunts and occasionally brings milk back up, or it is in his mouth. Yes he is putting on weight, but he is just not happy. After his feed it takes a long time to get him to sleep and then he will sleep
for a maximum of an hour before waking up screaming again and nothing settles him apart from a bottle, which then starts the cycle again. Tummy time or quality
time just aren’t happening as he’s too upset. We have tried paced feeding, regular burping (which is difficult in itself), changed his milk, sit him up to feed and afterwards and nothing is working.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Please be kind, it’s taken a lot to post this here, when I feel like I’m failing him.
