I think Hebe is suffering with trapped wind or possibly colic.
The MW says its not colic as she's BF but I know of babies who had colic that were BF.
She's unsettled, drawing her knees up and when she does go to sleep she's whimpering and yelping or wakes and lets out a yell and cries It's so sad - poor little mite.
She cant seem to get her burps up too well - she's trumping very smelly trumps though so its making its way out her bottom a bit, which is something I suppose.
When she's feeding, she latches pretty well except when she's upset or cross she inititally latches fine then you can hear her swallowing in air!
I've given her Infacol and my sister brought me some gripe water but that says not to be used under 1 month
I've been massaging her calves as I read they are an accupressure point for the stomach.
Any other tips?? I just wanna cry for her when I listen to her gasping and whimpering in her sleep
