Just wanted to add a comment to your previous post!

I'm not saying this to start a debate or go into the safety of tummy sleeping. However, I have 3 kiddos who REFUSED to sleep on their backs. They hated the carseat, the swing, the swaddle and anything else that you can think of. When I had reached my limit, I put them on their tummies. I started during naptime so that they would at least get some rest during the day and until I was confident that they would be fine. I made sure nothing else was in the crib, didn't use any blankets, etc... It was a lifesaver for me.

I will say that if your baby doesn't like being on their back, that in and of itself, can be a sign of reflux. It could be silent reflux where they are showing no "true" symptoms such as vomitting, etc.. but seem to be in pain when they are lying on their back. As for the breastfeeding, some of that could be related to reflux too. If he is twisting while he is latched, it could be that he is in pain. And, reflux coupled with a forceful letdown is hard. My sister had very sore and painful nipples and she pumped for a week(other than 1 or 2 feedings a day so her dd wouldn't forget how to latch) to give herself time to heal. I thought surely she would be done with bf after that week but, it turns out, that was just what she needed. It gave her body time to heal and allowed her time to emotionally heal too. 

Just a thought and I hope you get some sleep soon!  It does get better but it sure doesn't feel like it when you are stuck in that black hole of pp hormones and sleepless nights!

Thank you:) last night went MUCH better, even though I got less sleep. I think I was just mentally prepared for it. Woke up at 230 and went downstairs to watch tv while I fed him...I also made sure he was out for 20 min before I put him in bed (on his back) around 4. I pumped, laid down for about 15-20 min before he woke up. He'd peed everywhere and spit up a little. And I could tell he was hungry so I fed him again around 5. My mom saved me at 6 and I was able to sleep until 9. I don't think he has reflux, but I could be wrong. He doesn't fuss unless he gets overly tired, which is easy for him to do...but that's prob my fault since I was putting him in bed too soon.
