Constantly feeding, can anyone help?

[babyjay1]

Hi guys just wondering if anyone can help. Had my son last Thursday and i am constantly feeding. He is especially a nightmare in the night. He feeds for about an hour max then about 15mins later he wants more! On a couple of occasions he has even thrown it all back up and comes back for more. If he isn't feeding he's just crying. Like i said he's worse in the night than the day because he seems to settle a bit more in the day. Just really wanting to know if this is normal or am i doing something wrong?

I would mention it to the HV - Arianna was the same when she was first born and with her throwing it up we found out she had a reflux problem (which is always worse when lying down - hence night time!!)

We were given gavescon to mix with her milk and it worked a treat. I also put a little pillow under her matress (a book will do) just to elevate her head a bit to stop the reflux hurtign so bad.

Hope this helps you!!
