It didn't seem to do the trick for my LO.  I read "Happiest Baby on the Block" by Dr. Harvey Karp and it TOTALLY worked.  I did feel a little silly because you have to do all of the steps correctly (LOUD shh-ing, swinging, baby on her side, sucking, tight swaddle).  The crying in the evenings is down to 15 min. tops!  Good luck and hang in there!

 I have a cranky 5 week old too! Tried the gripe water yesterday, and more today so I will let you know what happens. My LO is pretty much fussy during all of her awake time...but mostly after her 1st bottle of the day and in the evenings. You?

he is the worse in the evening from about 6pm on...but on and off fussy throughout the whole day. VERY VERY gassy, uncomfortable, fights off sleep, nothing can console him but nursing...he is gaining weight quickly and i think he is over eating due to this. Wont take a paci, hates his bouncy seat, swing, etc....i feel awful for him

I've used colic calm and it works well. I've also used mylicon, and the happiest baby on the block tips. All have helped with DD's colic. GL!

I don't have experience with gripe water, but noticed someone suggested Happiest Baby on the Block.  It really helps!  I just wanted to give you this link to a great summary to save you the time of reading the entire book:  https://www.halosleep.com/what_experts_say/soothing_techniques_from_dr_karp/   

Good luck!
