Idk how else to describe so please bear with me. By the way, i am breastfeeding. My 5 week old has been super fussy since last night, to the point where when he cries, he gets high pitched. I feel that the only reason he stops is cz hes exshausted from crying, is eating, or is sleeping. I try burping him, feeding him n playing with him and he wont stop crying. I have tried gas drops, and gripe water, and both at the same time. I have called my doctor, she said to try cutting off all dairy and see if he stops fussing. Or she said to try a soymilk bases formula and if he doesnt have a reaction the. It could be a milk allergy. She strongly recommended the formula method, but I REALLY dont wana try it cz i wana breastfeed and formula is exensive! But i have a weird feeling that its not the dairy, i just DONT know what it could be. I feel helpess, and it sucks that this is happening this long weekend but i dont wana take him 2 the ER cz i feel like its to germy and if there is nothing wrong with him, i put him at risk to catch something there. Also, he has white stuff on his tongue, i tries wiping off n its not coming off, wondering if it could be thrush? I just dont know wat it could be anymore. Anyone have a baby with these symptoms and what did it turn out 2 be?
