He's 5 weeks old and started crying a lot 5 days ago. He will cry and we can try something and it only pleases him for a few minutes. A lot of times he starts in the middle of a feeding and won't eat the rest. I've tried gas drops and we've switched his milk to soy. You would think if it was colic or he was in pain he wouldn't cry then be amazed by the tv for a few minutes and cry again. I've heard they get really fussy about this age but nothing pleases him. What do you think it is. We had to just walk in to our docs but he had to many patients to see us so we had to see some other crazy lady that had no idea what she was talking about.
He kicks a lot but he also does that when he's playing or just mad about anything. He's doing it right now. I already gave him gas drops. Only way I can please him is doing a million different things every minute, putting him on my chest and patting him. Or laying him on his back on my legs and popping a pacifier in his mouth. Right now he's on my legs and I put the pac in his mouth and that last a few minutes. He goes after it like a dog after meat to like he's starving but he just ate and wouldn't eat more. Then we tried giving him a little more a half hourmlater and he ate more like he was starving then quit. Now he acts llike he wants more 20 mins later. He sucks that pac in then spits it out a few minutes later like hey there's no milk in there! Everyone's saying he needs rice cereal in his milk bc it's just not filling him. But I'm to afraid of all the side affects they talk about.
Now he's playing with his dad like nothings wrong but I'm sure he will be screamingnin a few minutes. Wouldn't he constantly he screaming if he was in pain or colic?
My daughter is 4 months old and is on enfamil gentlease. She has frequent spit-up, fussiness & gas, and colic. We have already tried Good start from wic and she was pooping weird and was in more pain. So i am going to try similac to see if it is easier for her to handle. Any suggestions from experience or from their(similac) formula line. I am going back to work soon, so I have stopped breastfeeding 3 weeks ago. So I am trying to transition her to a formula.

My ten month old baby is constanlty waking up at night. She will wake up nearly every hour-two hours. It happened when she was born till she was six months, but then it got better. Now its been back for about a month.
At first we thought it was her teeth, so I tried all the teething remedies, but her teeth have cut and its still happening. She doesnt seem to have any problems with colic etc.
Also she sleeps fine during her naps in the day time.
She goes to sleep about 7 and wakes at 10, then every hour after. I have tried to get her to go to bed later, but seven seems to be her time for bed. I just want to know if theres anything i can do about it? When she was little we went to a sleep clinic to no avail.
Is there anybody out there who might have a solution? So exhausted!
I would let her cry it out, but were currently in the one room and her dad needs to sleep because he gets up at three/four for work each day. I have let her cry it out for her naps, and now she doesnt make a sound when i put her down. I know shes now just used to me picking her up everytime because she just has a cuddle and goes back down again.
Is there a way to settle her again without crying and in her own bed?
I was just wondering how does experienced moms feel about gripe water? I know some say not to use it because it makes baby choke and etc but i believe that is because the mom was doing something wrong. My baby is SUPER fussy. Nothing will soothe him. So i know he has colic. He is 6 weeks old. I asked doctor and she said his extreme gas is normal. As well as him not going to the bathroom doing #2 everyday. But i want to try gripe water for his colic. Please feel me in about gripe water
Where can i get it? Normally how much does it cost? and does food stamps cover it? Or is it like a medicine?
Anything I do for my LO nothing seems to soothe her to sleep. She just cries whether i hold her,change,feed,play...she isnt runnin a fever at all. I can tell she is tired by how low pitch her cry is. Will she tire from her crys?
My doctor says she has colic. So I tried gripe water didn't work. Tried gas drops nothing helps her sleep.
Any advice for Sleep for both me and my LO
(4wks old)
