waking every 2 hours

[Anonymous]

My little one is 7 weeks old and has trouble with both reflux and “colic.” From 4-10 every night eating not only hurts him (he rears back and screams), but is next to impossible for him. We’ve tried bottles, sitting straight up to BF, laying him down on his left side etc. After 10, when it’s bed time, he’s able to eat finally but continues to wake every 2 hours (just like durring the day) to eat. Is this normal for babies with reflux? Anyone else have this happen to them? Any words of advice are greatly appreciated!

hi & welcome!

breastfeeding?

how are poops? regular mustardy-colored, seedy breastfed baby poops?

or do you see mucous (can look like jelly, like cottge cheese, like the stringy part of a banana, like snot)?

how is gas? painful?

foul smelling?

does baby strain & grunt to poop & then when finally does poop its soft?

research all you can!
