EBF & spit up

My 2 week old has been feeding nonstop and recently has had more spit up and hiccups. I hold net upright and burp her after feeding. She always seems to want more boob time right after spitting up and I tend to give her a break but then she cries and cries so I pop her back on the boob. Sometimes she feeds for ages sometimes just 5-10 min then it’s like she just wants nip for comfort but I’m worried I’m feeding her more and making it worse. Does this sound normal? Or like reflux?

My LO does this too and I found out it was because she had extra burps I hadn’t got up yet so now I burp her in about 5 different positions multiple times throughout any feed 🤣

@Victoria ok good to know. My LG hates being burped lol often she’s asleep in my arms then as soon as I move her to burp her she starts crying for more feed 🤪 I’m going crazy tonight with this cycle

In the same position! Hope it gets better for you x

She may be cluster feeding too and that can be a real pain in the backside. I know with all 3 of my breastfed babies theyd feed restlessly and squirming, pull off the boob, scream at the boob, headbutt the boob, latch back on for a little while then repeat the above over and over. Id try and burp them but didnt always work. All u can do is try to either keep going or give them to someone else to hold for few mins while u take a bath, go for quick break outside/away from baby, reset then start again
