    Have you tried a suppository (spelling?) My 2nd was always constipated and those helped or an anal thermometer with a little vaseline would also help. I was told to try both from his doctor.

    Gas drops...also take him lay him on his back push his legs/knees gently into his stomach...make a game of it for him make his legs move like hes riding a bike then do it...could b formula if your formula feeding some baby's r fine one day w that specific one n next day its causing issues...good luck

    mylicon drops i think they are called? either in baby isle or in hygiene area.if he isn't pooping well it's worth a call do your doc.

    Growth spurt maybe and he's just being fussy? That happened to me for a couple days

    Has he had any vaccines lately? It could be a reaction to that - if so call & ask his doctor what to do.

    Are you bottle or bf ? if bottle try cow and gate comfort. water and you can do a table spoon of fresh orange juice in an ounce of boiled water (cooled) helped my little girl alot. but now she's consiptated again :( and she spits water out so on the orange juice again! (check with doctor first) it may be colic ? i use infacol now which is a medicine that helps with colic and gripping pain. works wonders..!! good luck hun! Its horrid i know..

    Yes It's the inge in the blue box and there is instructions on the box. Worked everytime for my daughter. What type of bottles do you use?

    when my daughter was born we noticed she was sucking in a lot of air when she feed and her stomach stayed hard. We switched to the platex drop ins and that solved our problems her stomach want as hard and she wasn't gassy.

    Gas drops and try to burp him every two ounces it helps a lot more!!! and their tummies dnt feel as full when u lay them down. Hope it helps. Try changing his diaper everytime he is wet. He may be cold. Also, he may be going through a growth spurt: they eat a lot during those. but remember burp every two oz

    Try rubbing his belly too. Lay him down and rub his belly. Idk if he is to small to lay in his tummy and rub his back or not but I heard that helps too.
