Help! Caffeine and BF

Trying to figure out if LO has reflux but his symptoms aren't exactly what is described. I noticed I've been drinking less water and still having coffee in the morning and 1 or 2 Santa Cokes (I swear it tastes better with Santa on the can) during the day. LO has started to be more fussy from 6-10pm and sometimes in the morning. He is SO gassy and arches his back away from the boob while eating. Anyone else notice this? I hate calling the Ped. with a question I could probably answer by some research. Suggestions? Ideas? Any and all comments are appreciated. Just want to get LO back to being a happy eater!!

    How old is LO? How long has this behavior been going on? How long have you been consuming this amount of caffeine?

    I would certainly try to go a few days without any and see if there are any changes. That seems like a lot of caffeine while BF. I wouldn't be surprised if it's bothering your baby.

    LO is 4wks today. I cut out coffee for the rest of this week, found a YouTube for infant massage, started using Gas Drops and Gripe water...and things have gotten better. I do not think it was reflux so much anymore. He was screaming out of nowhere in the middle of nursing. Burping him more between boobs and after has also helped, I forget that the gassy sensation to toot is new to these little people! Thank you for the support!
