sleep problems!

my 6 week old, who was previously just waking once a night at 2 and then getting up at 6 (going to bed at 7) is now waking up several times a night!! We've been waking her for a feed around 10 and then she usually sleeps til 1 or 2, but after that feed (which she rarely finishes before going back to sleep) she is really restless, sometimes waking up to 4/5 times before half 6!! it's driving us mad! I've started giving her more food around 5 but that only seems to settle her for an hour max. She is on gaviscon as the doctor thought she might have reflux as she makes a gurgling sound in back of throat when been lying down especially, but she is still making this sound all the time in the early morning and seems uncomfortable lying down. she does get trapped wind too but even after winding she doesn't settle. Any ideas what we're doing wrong?? Also, at the 11pm feed she always falls asleep and we can't get her to take much at all. She seems to just want to sip little bits throughout the night but I'm worried she isn't getting enough sleep herself! Can't understand why she's changed??
