unhappy after feeding

my LO is always so unhappy after breastfeeding. he does the back arch, whines, and grunts. he seems so miserable its really breaking my heart. the LC told me no reflux because he does sleep he does a 4 hour stretch at night in his RnP even when i get a good burp out he still does all this. the only thing that helps is giving him his pacifier to suck on. it really sucks at night because after i do a middle of the night feed, hes wide awake after flailing around post feed.

he has his 2 month follow up next week so i will bring it up with the pedi.

it kills me with the way he acts. i see other babies completely comfortable after breastfeeding just hanging out on their moms shoulder, so calm and content, almost coma like. and mine i have to have a death grip on him so he doesnt propel himself off me.

    I don't think sleep means he doesn't have reflux.  Our baby sleeps quite well but has to be on Prilosec for reflux.  It really does sound like reflux symptoms.

    This!  I would definitely ask the pedi about reflux.  Until then, make sure you keep LO upright 20 minutes after feeding.  I'm sorry LO is so uncomfortable after eating, hopefully the pedi can help.

    I vote reflux as well. Definitely talk to the pedi. LO probably sleeps okay because he's in the RnP which keeps him at an incline.

    Im having the exact same issue with my 3 week old. My lc thinks its due to overactive letdown and too much foremilk. I know your lo is a little older, but do you think that might have something to do with it?
