Answer 1

my son was like that he would be fine all day but come night time he would cry as soon as i offered him the breast. turns out he had colic. i think the wind in his stomach built up from the day and caused him pain during the night. make sure you burp him between feeds and massage his stomach with olive oil. you can try colief drops that you can add to breast milk if you think that it may be colic.

Answer 2

try giving you baby the bottle i expressed at night for my daughter and it worked she settled right down within days.
