Go buy some gas drops and swaddle him I would say if you can hold him for awhile close to your chest then put him dwn on the floor with a soft blanket on his side then roll him to his bak

Add a teaspoon or two to his bottles I've started doing it at night feedings

To help sleeping my suggestions are...

Walk in the stroller
Car ride
Putting him on the dryer while its on
Vacuum while carrying him
Music (loud rock works for my girl, even though people always suggest soft music)
Bouncing
A walk outside being just carried
Warm bath
Having a shower with me

...my daughter is a terrible sleeper so we've done all of these!

@natashalynn I give him a bath everynight. I've tried quite a few of ur suggestions and nothing. My sisters Pediatrician said its a phase. But this jus literary darted the other night all of a sudden.

Increase his feedings my doc said feed more less times a day

If he's drooling it's teething. His gums don't have to be red. My baby girl both teeth in at that age without warning. But 4 month oldest can go through a less sleep phase. We started keeping her up till midnight to break her of it.

@jtmoon98, he has never had a problem with gas, he farts like 30 times a day, I've had him on enfami AR since he was 6 weeks when I stopped bf.. I did take him to see a dr about acid reflux. When he was 9weeks and he didn't have it. I jus recently spoken to a pediatric about what's going onand he said it might be a phase. @preggointx I've recently increased his feeding by 2 oz and it seems to take the edge off. He did sleep longer lastnight. Which I was glad cuz I got some sleep
