Hi hun, . It sounds very frustrating to have found that what was working now isn't.
It sounds like she's still hungry. If she won't settle, try bfing her. She could be going through a growth spurt, or maybe she just fell asleep before she was done during the first bf.
Have you tried waking her by changing her, swapping sides, etc, once she falls asleep initially, just to see if she does want more? It sounds like putting her in her cot is waking her and she realises she's still hungry.
She's still only little, so if it isn't a hunger issue, perhaps trying to put her in a sling or wrap might work for you?
Hi hun, I know a lot of people don't like them, so disregard if that applies to you But does she have a dummy? I think some babies just need to suck to fall asleep and stay asleep.. she might be half waking after 5 mins, realising the boob is gone and crying. If you pop a dummy in when she wakes and try to pat or rock her off, it might get her backto sleep.
I also just realised that at 6 weeks my DD suddenly went through a period of fussiness where she wanted to feed constantly. It took a couple of days for my supply to catch up with her increased demand and she got more back to 'normal' with bfing patterns. It might be a growth spurt or something like that.
