My 5 week old cries hard after nearly every meal. He is 100% on breast milk, I pump exclusively, he burps after every ounce, rarely spits up, burps and passed gas with what seems like ease but instead of being content after eating he starts crying shortly after and continues until he falls alseep.
What am I missing? Any suggestions? Maybe I just have a "fussy" baby... We have tried gripe water and gas drops. While they seem to help some, it's really hit or miss. I have cut out all dairy, avoid gassy veggies and staying away from spicy foods. Any one else experiencing this or have any advice for me? Sometimes the crying is a fussy cry, other times it seems like a painful cry, hard belly and drawing legs up, all the while passing gas on his own.
Re: Crying fits after every meal.
yet. Does that make a difference?
She'd always act like she wanted more food, but when we'd give her more, she'd spit the whole meal up. We just snuggled her and dealt with it.
I also exclusively pump and feed 100% breastmilk.
