Crying newborn can’t sleep at night

Hi! My 10 day old LO zzzz a lot in the day but when it’s past midnight till 3-4am she will look uncomfortable and cries quite a bit. It looks like her tummy hurts cos it looked slightly bloated. She hasn’t been drinking formula milk (used to top up with Dumex Dulac). Since ysd she has been on expressed breast milk. She doesn’t latch very well and gets frustrated ? Anyone has similar experience? I wonder if my EBM makes her feel sick.

I had the same experience for my both children, they are now 5 yo and 16months. Baby might get hungry as baby can't latch and drink probably. Last time, I just keep talking and encourage them to drink my milk. Give up it up. Then, eventually, they drink my milk. As for sleeping at night, that was worst part for me too. They will just very alert at night time. Last time, I have no choose and I put them on my chest to comfort them so that they could sleep and rest well.
