What's wrong with my baby? Gas, fussy, spit-up, etc.

My almost-three month old has some issue...She is EBF. She fusses when she's awake, especially crying all evenings (between 7 and 10), and seems to have a lot of gas, and burps several times after a feed...She also very often spits up...sometimes more milk than other times.

The dr. said she has colic - will go away on its own. We've tried everything - swaddling, removing dairy from my diet, anis water, warm bath, keeping upright after feeding, etc.

 HELP! Any advice or suggestions?

    How is her poop? Yellow or green? Explosive? Could you have an oversupply of milk?

    Her poop is always yellow... A few times it's explosive, but not always. Some days she doesn't even poop at all. I don't know about oversupply - maybe. What are the symptoms of that? What do I do if that's it? I've never read about that...

    Maybe growth spurt too? Also I thought colic peaked at 3 months. Has anyone brought up acid reflux to you?

    My almost 4 week old has the same symptoms.  I'm afraid it's colic.  No fun, no fun at all.  The crying is nonstop.

    She might have painful reflux. Reflux is common, and if she is spitting up a lot she might have it.

    No oversupply then. Could be reflux as PPs suggested.

    Definitely colic.  If you are breastfeeding try cluster feeding--offering a feeding throughout the fussy time.  She won't eat more than she should or expect it 24/7 but cluster feeding is very normal during fussy time and can be very helpful in keeping your sanity!  Just park yourself on the couch with a book and see if she will feed on and off for a few hours.  You won't get much done but it will be quiet and she might be more content.
