Sounds like maybe reflux (the wheezy noise...) Keep her upright after eating (and as much as possible while eating...) see if that helps...

What's wrong?
I'm not sure what's wrong or even if there IS anything wrong, so I thought I'd ask the wise mamas here!
DD is about 8 weeks old. She had problems initially w/slow weight gain (didn't suckle strongly and fell asleep quickly). She got EBM, a little formula, and many attempts at nursing. Finally, at 6 weeks, she "got" nursing and is now EBF and is gaining an ounce a day.
With her history, I can't remember exactly when her fussiness and/or restlessness started. At a certain point she DID sleep a lot but she also had jaundice then. At a certain point she fell asleep after being fed w/o fussing much. If I didn't know better, I'd think she STILL wasn't getting enough milk, but I count on the scale and diapers to reassure me that hopefully this isn't it.
Here's our day today:
9-11 a.m. Asleep
11- 1 p.m. Awake and moderately fussy but not so much (nursing on and off but alert/awake/calm, too)
1-3 Asleep
3 p.m.-9:50 p.m. AWAKE (becoming increasiningly fussy at 5:30, not really content unless nursing)
9:50-10:45 p.m. Asleep (in a sling T2T; I was propped up on the sofa)
10:45- now AWAKE
Throughout the night she nurses in bed and is still fussy. In the morning for several hours (from at least 7-9) she is fussy.
What I mean by fussy . . .
Not inconsolable-- will be OK with nursing
Congested/wheezy, esp. in the a.m.
No spitting up
Does not fall asleep after nursing, even after nursing for hours.
I don't think I have low supply. When I was pumping, I kept up with DD's needs (except when we initially DX the problem with her suck-- my supply had lowered so we gave her some FF when I couldn't pump enough).
What is this? Reflux? Food sensitivity? Colic? All of the above? What can I do?
