It wouldn't be a milk allergy, my little guy has that too..The hypo-allergenic version, has no lactose or milk protein..
Do you still think it is gas pains?? Ovol works great for that..Nathan had terrible gas pains after his surgery and the ovol made a huge difference..
I hope you figure whatever it is out and your little munchkin feels better soon..Hang in there! You will figure it out!! Big hugs!!
let us know what happens
I don't want to make you feel bad or down but our baby used to scream every single night from 5-9pm, no matter what we did. We just did our best to sooth him. We were lucky enough to have help from my Mother - which helped keep our sanity - since he barely slept and we had to feed him every hour and half for the first 2 months. So we were all running on no sleep and constant round the clock with the baby. There were times where he would just scream at the top of his lungs for hours and there was no real reason for it.
Also, if you think your baby is having gas issues, look into the type of bottles you are using. We started out using Playtex Drop Ins which were HORRIBLE - it was like the baby was sucking air and it gave him such terrible gas pains! Once we switched to Ventaire, it was like magic. We are now using Dr. Brown's - they are supposed to be the best for gas and colic.
Don't worry - just have the baby checked out and you do what you can. Try to get some help if you can! You're baby is going to be just fine. I hope the baby feels better and hang in there! This will pass!
it could be reflex (my kids are on zantac), gas (give mylicone) or allergy to milk (use soy formula).
really call the dr. good luck.
