6 weeks old baby always feels uneasy
My baby is 6 weeks old and I breastfeed him. He seems to be always uneasy when awake since birth. Also his arms and legs are always restless associated with heavy breathing. I don't see him happy or contented though he feeds well. During evenings he wants to feed but refuses to suckle and goes to bed hungry. He spits a bit of 'curdled' milk. Could it be silent reflux?

Good evening mam. There are high chances of reflux pertaining to above mentioned symptoms. plz do check the weight. should have increased by around 600 grams from birth weight. if your baby has gained so then no major problems should be associated. Good burping after feeds should be done. Hope Your Baby gets relieved of his symptoms soon.
