hi all...I'm new to this site, so forgive me if this subject has been covered. My 7 week old (who was born six weeks early) gets into a cycle that we're having trouble getting him out of...he gets very worked up to feed and so not surprisingly then is sucking and swallowing madly, probably ingesting just as much air as breast milk. I try to burp him in between breasts (after about 10 minutes on one) but he thrashes and arches his back and cries until he gets back to more food. Again not surprisingly, he then tends to spit up quite a bit b/c it's been a total of 20-30 minutes of eating before he'll allow us to try to burp him. Getting him to eat before he's hysterical is very tough b/c he's not at all on a regular cycle and so predicting his eating schedule is near impossible. Any ideas? Thanks--
