My 12-week old has been stuggling for 6 weeks with VERY frequent spit-up and constipation. At about 8 weeks old he started screaming/crying more frequently (colic???). My husband and I are pulling our hair out trying to soothe him, but NOTHING works! For the constipation we have him on a prescription stool softener every day (1/2 tsp. in one bottle/day)and have still had to give suppositories! For the spit-up we've tried everything: different formulas, different positions, different bottles. We have not yet tried Enfamil's Nutrimigen, but we think that will be our only option. And for the colic, we hold him...CONSTANTLY! We do feel that if the constipation and spit-up were gone, he wouldn't be so fussy...but we're running out of ideas! Our doctor basically told us to try everything we could to help soothe him and if nothing works, then she'll refer us to a specialist...we just want to make sure we've explored ALL of our options before resorting to surgeries,etc...HELP US!!!
