Gas issues
Hi,
My 1 week old daughter has not been sleeping well for past 2 days. I believe she is struggling with gas issues. We try to get her burps while feeding and after feeding but still at night she is unable to sleep properly. She makes some kind of noise and keeps stretching herself. Please advise.

It may be normal behavior because as per your history its happening at night only usually because neonates are active more in night.
You try to put her on tummy during discomfort ,if she feels relieved it may be Colic.
