Baby struggling

If it’s colic I highly recommend Woodward’s Gripe Water it can be used from 1 - 12 months old you can usually pick it up in Boots. My son had colic and the Infacol did nothing the gripe water was the only thing that really worked !
@Emma I second the gripe water aswell! Then infacol also did nothing for my baby either!
Have you had a doctor look at baby to check tongue tie? We ended up getting our bottle fed baby diagnosed with tongue tie at 11 weeks old, cut privately at 12 weeks old and after this his wind was much better as he was inhaling a lot of air on the bottle due to a poor latch! The tongue tie was missed initially because he’s always been bottle fed and was gaining weight. Hope you find a solution soon, trapped wind is the worst!
I feel this in my soul my baby was the same and it was so so hard. He was either asleep or crying and uncomfortable and it was heartbreaking. I second the vote to check for a tongue tie, my little boy had one that was missed and when it was released at 8 weeks it made a huge difference, not only to his feeding and gassiness but it released a load of tension from his body! I also moved him onto goat milk formula (nannycare specifically) which he thrived on. It's pricey so we have now transitioned back when he was 5 months but it was much easier for his little belly to digest and this also made a big difference. I was told he didn't have cmpa because he was fine on goat formula but to be honest drs have been unhelpful. I tried to transition to cow formula at 12 weeks and he was unhappy, but by 5 months we tried again and he was absolutely fine so I think his gut just wasn't ready for it. I also recommend lots of tummy time if they will tolerate it as it helps to encourage the gas out!
my girl was like this and turned out she has CMPA. we moved her onto goat milk and the difference it makes is unreal. im now pushing with the GP to get her diagnosed and prescribed milk. best advice i can give is push with the GP x
@Amy second the nannycare! my girls been on this since 2 months and it’s done wonders !
Have you tried a bottle change? I was on tommee tippee then mam and I’m now using dr brown! And instead of changing To comfort Milk I actually Changed brand milk and am using just the normal stage 1 instead!xx
