DH and I are convinced that little man has colic. He's almost three weeks so it's pretty early but he has All the symptoms: screaming several hours a night, clenched fists, flushed face, extreme gas. Trying to breast feed during one of his fits is close to impossible. Throw in a nipple shield that keeps coming off and there are times I'm ready to bottle feed. Dh did give him a bottle yesterday and I noticed he had trouble taking my breast at the next feeding. I am looking for any support or advice from other moms with colicky or extremely fussy newborns.

Gripe water helps my LO with gas. She was so mad and straining so hard to poop I did digital stimulation and it worked in min and we got 9 hours of sleep
My LO has been very gassy and colicky in nature during the evenings and I found this massage video very helpful. Helps her relieve the has and I normally get a really big poopy diaper with 30 minutes.

Sorry to hear this! I know how you feel! Try gripe water...we tried it twice for nights like you described and it really calmed him down. I used the Little Tummies/Remedies.
@JmeJoLee83 - why did you ask about c-sections and breech?
