my bub is almost 3wks old and i just suffered the exact same thing, im also a BF mum for the first time i didnt BF my DS1 so this bf is new to me
i have seen a paed and all they have cared about is that he is eating properly wouldnt accept that i said i think he has reflux, i didnt know about silent reflux until reading this but thats exactly what my baby boy does, im getting told my milk might not have enough calories for him but i mean my bub is very small which is all there giving a **** about right now
im seeing my paed tomorrow and im going to say im pretty sure he has silent reflux and ask what i can do, i shall come back and let you know what im told
please accept these i so understand your frustration right now!
Just remember your not alone as im going through the same thing, not as bad but its still super frustrating constantly feeding and crying
my DF and i rotate shifts and when something works we remember it and just keep rotating things to keep him quiet
also laying bubs across your legs on her tummy and rubbing her back in circles or patting her back can ease pain of reflux (this works for my bub, for about half hour sometimes longer, then we do it again)
goodluck sorry im not much help
