Hello lovely BBers

I would love some perspective on a few issues I have with DD2's breastfeeding. She is 6 weeks. Once my nipples healed from initial sensitivity and we established good attachment BF seemed great for the first two weeks with the exception of notable oversupply, and bebe was very settled. I mentioned oversupply in the BF chatter thread a while ago so apologies for repeating stuff. I suspected oversupply and / or forceful flow for the following reasons (While feeding)-

-Gagging
-Sputtering
-Coughing
-Holding breath temporarily while gulping very rapidly
-Pulling off frequently
-Arching back/stiffening legs
-Lots of burping
-Pooing as she drank
-Smelly farts
-Wheezy after feeds or with milky looking mucous in her nostrils like she has snorted the milk/down the wrong way
-Mouthing the nipple but not actually attaching if that makes sense, like she was hovering and dancing her mouth around the nipple.* Not sure what this means actually but always seems to precede behaviour signaling discomfort or wind?

My boobs were always full and it felt like she would never empty even one side and were uncomfortably full again within half an hour of a feed.

After feeds she was a bit unsettled, nothing too dramatic.at this stage she wasn't bringing any milk back up at all. I tried the usual oversupply management tactics of block feeding, feeding off only one side per feed, feeding lying down or reclined, pulling her off until letdown has subsided etc...

This seemed to be working ... However at about 3 weeks things have felt worse... The gagging etc isn't more frequent but now she cries during most feeds as well as after. Sometimes she feeds 'standing' on her legs as they and her back are so stiff. She is always crying after a feed and feeds feel like a battle and i have trouble ascertaining if/when she has had enough as she is mad keen on comfort sucking so won't pull away even if i suspect she has had enough and gets increasingly upset as she feeds and drinks increasingly rapidly like a crazy lady. Sometimes when I feel her tummy as this happens i can feel movement- like air or milk??

This is what is now making me suspect reflux as the crying has increased notably, the other symptoms persist yet my supply feels settled now ALTHOUGH I know my flow is still a but mad because when i pull her off when she gags on let down or starts gulping manically my milk sprays out...

Also DD2 has gone from settled and sleeping well (or well enough for a newbie!) to catnapping and at night waking frequently grunting, gurgling etc.

Went to a gp who told me she didn't believe in reflux, had no advice re the list of symptoms (including a rash- maybe unrelated) but wrote a prescription for losec anyway although she didnt weigh her for the dosage but guessed her weight range based on her discharge weight and a weigh in at 17 days.

DD2 has been on losec, 2mg, 1 ml taken twice a day for 4 and a half days but zero improvement. How long before it kicks in, or is it not reflux (hence zero improvement)?

Hmm...
