I am a first time mom with a 4 week old son. He weighed 5 lbs 12 oz at birth. He is having lots of problems with BM's and gas. The Dr. says it is an immature gut and he will grow out of it at 2-3 months. He screams out in his sleep grunt and strains ALL day and night and goes through fits of hysterical crying that can last anywhere from 5 - 30 mins. I am bottle feeding and have him on Carnation Good Start. The Dr. says use mylecon - which made him constipated then she put him on Kero syrup in his botle 2 times a day for that and was out on Apple juice once a day at 2 weeks. Does anyon have any advice or have you gone through this... I fins it hard to believe that I have to just let my son scream for 2 - 3 months... Please Help!!!
