Asking on behalf of a friend: My LO who is 2 wks old has been refusing to sleep at night (starting from this week) and all he wants is just to latch on. He has been drinking so much milk that his tummy is bloated and spits out milk everytime i burp him. Problem is whenever i pull him away from my breast, he starts to cry and shout for milk. I will end up have to feed him again. Hubby and I is very tired having to pacify him every night. Any idea what could be wrong with my LO? Should i bring him to see PD?

He has associated feeding with sleep. Sounds like he is comfort feeding. Have you tried offering him alternatives such as a pacifier or teething blankie. Spit ups are normal, burping will help. At 2 weeks old, there is nothing much which can be done. Be patient, baby will outgrow it. I promise! Jia you!
