Just not a good day...
Wow. So I'm typing this as DS is in the midst of his first real nap today. He's been quite fussy since he turned two weeks old, but today was something else. Very difficult to get down for a nap, and once he was down, would only sleep 20-30 minutes. VERY cranky upon waking and very difficult to soothe. From about 4:30 to 6:00 this evening he was inconsolable. Screaming through a bottle, which he has never done. Would settle for a minute, then start screaming out of nowhere.
Will be calling the Dr. tomorrow. When DS initially started getting fussy a couple weeks ago, Dr. recommended switching to a soy formula, which hasn't done much to help DS, and I think has actually made him constipated, on occasion, so will be asking if we can just switch back to what we had been using.
I guess I'm not expecting any miracle advice or answers (I know better by now) but was just wanting to vent... It's just nice to know that there's someone out there who will read this.

Re: Just not a good day...
Could it be gas issues? If he's constipated, then that could be the major issue. DD had a lot of gas issues around your LO's age... Have you tried Mylicon drops? They worked WONDERS for her!
I'm not sure why your doc recommended soy formula for fussiness... I'm not saying go against what your doctor recommended, but if he was fine on the other formula (aside from a bit of fussiness), wouldn't just switching to the "gentlease" or "sensitve" formula of the same brand have been better?
Anyway, maybe for now try the mylicon drops, and see how they work... and if gas isn't the issue, maybe your pedi can recommend something else.
Good luck, and hang in there!
