Any tips would be appreciated, my daughter is 4 days old and has really bad tummy cramps, from my research I really believe its reflux.

She is 5 weeks old… and I’m going crazy! She has reflux so bad… shes on 3 different medications and still throws up! Also the medications give her horrible gas and the cereal in her formula makes her constipated and is taking a Laxative for it, which gives her worse gas. We alternate every other feeding with breastfeeding and bottle feeding. (Nutramigen with Rice Cereal)
Please Help… any tips?

Ok, so Ive been asking questions lately trying to get to the bottom of my son’s rough start on life. Well, he went from Lipil Iron to Gentlease to Nutramigen. Only been on the Nutramigen for about 5-6 days now but it has not even made a dent in his symptoms. The doc said reflux but I really don’t know. He has also been on zantac for the past 3 days, no dent with that either. I hate to give him the medication if this is really a colic issue. Anyway, since the Nutramigen is supposed to show improvement around 48 hours and its been way over that, Im wondering if he isn’t allergic to cows milk? I notice he has to strain to poop and seems very irritable. He also cries and fusses during feedings and especially after feedings. It just seems like his little tummy hurts. He tries crawling up my chest and scratching and turning red and of course crying. Ive been using the mylicone drops but it only helps a tad. For people who had babies with problems similar to me, what formula worked for your baby? Im thinking Carnation Good Start or Similac Sensitive?? A friend mentioned something about too much iron in some formulas?? This is all very frustrating, especially for the little guy. The vacuum and holding him seems to help. By the way, he is 6 weeks old.
Yes we went from the doctor browns bottles to the drop ins bottles which he loves because its like a real nipple. We also make sure its the slow vent too.
to add a few things, we tried gripe water and it made his symptoms worse. usually when we put him in the car seat he throws a fit, he does not tolerate it well. we tried jogging with him in there, he just screamed. I noticed he gets hiccups a lot and he hates them.
