I am the first time mother of a beautiful baby boy who is 2 months old. Since about 5 weeks he has cried for several hours after every feed. At first we were told he had colic so we tried everything to relieve wind, then we were told we had silent reflux and put on Zantac and finally after Zantac hasnt completely solved the problem we have been put on Losec and using special reflux formula from pharmacy. Zantac decreased the screaming by lots!!

I still dont think things are right, he doesnt scream after every feed now, but suddenly will wake himself for sleep and begin to scream on and off for hours. He is red faced, and often sweats his entire back as he gets so worked up. His legs push up and down or he does stragith as a bored. His mouth smells like acid. And sometimes i feel like he isnt breathing! It seems we calm him finally and he almost falls asleep then swallows and it all begins again.

I feel like everyhing is in a cycle now and dont know what is making things better and what is not helping.

His poos have now changed colour to yellow mustard and are pellet like now on the new formula but he goes 2 times a day - but it is a small pellet each time! They seems quite solid would this mean he is constipated now too?? He is always red faced and strains alot to poo1

We seem to give him a dose of panadol daily to help him settle and not sure how safe this is???

is there anyone who has advice on what i should do next to help him, or is it normal for babies to cry in pain several times a day even with these interventions??

Also can someone tell me what is safe to use with panadol and reflux?? The panadol defaintely works without fail to stop the crying and let him sleep - but i am worried i use it once every day/ couple of days???

Please help me - i dont know what to tell the paed anymore but i just cant stand him being in so much pain every day!
