It’s normal for baby to demand milk at 2-3 hours interval. Vomiting sticky liquid as you told is normal. While breast feeding try to feed with one breast only until it’s empty, change to other if necessary after that only. Burping even 5 minutes enough. Excess gas means you not holding baby properly while feeding. Hold him horizontally well supported, baby’s belly touching your’s.
Next Steps
Consult if no relief Mixed feeding with breast milk and formula will aggravate problem of rejection Well fed baby passes 6-7 urine in 24 hours min
