My 44 day old baby is crying after feeding and also just licking and biting her hands while burping. She is not sleeping even she feels sleepy. She will take nearly 1 hr for every feed. My lactation is also good. What is the issue? when we put her down to sleep she is crying. Is there anything we need to worry about? Pls advise

I can understand your worry...kindly 1st chaeck that baby's attachment to breast is proper or not...if baby suck only nipple then she might not get enough breast milk...so check it...you can watch its video on you tube also for proper latching...
Next Steps
check weight of baby...if gaining then no worries else you need counselling

Is this happening during night only ? Generally babies are more active during night hence their demand increases. Are you feeding her with bottle also apart from mother milk ? If yes stop that. There is a term known as Nipple confusion.
Remember 3 important points to know if the baby is getting enough milk - passing 6-8 times urine in a day, sleeps for 2-3 hours after breastfeeding, and is constantly gaining weight.
