They might be gassy. Try placing a warm dry cloth on top of her onsie on her tummy and see if that helps. If not call their doctor.

The baby may have colic. This is the usual age that babies get it. They cry constantly and no amount of comforting them helps. They may also refuse to eat. Unfortunately, there is no defining answer as to what causes colic or how to prevent/treat it. The baby will just out grow it.Then again, your child could have gas or be constipated. If you push the baby's legs up against his stomach and he stops crying, it's gas. They have a product called Mylecon to get rid of gas, and it is safe for all ages. For constipation, check with your doctor.

I think it sounds like gas or collick, I hope its not collick! although there are over the counter remedies such as gripe water or oval, I think its best to have him seen by his Dr. to rule out other possibilites. If he's scrunching up his legs and kicking, and going red in the face, and if his little tummy feels hard during one of these bouts, sounds like colick to me. But still take him to the Dr. Good Luck!

Probably gas. There is over the counter gasXdrops for baby.
Also be sure you burp baby well. A warm bath can give some relief
If you are bottle feeding.......might be a milk allergy. Or if you are nursing...you need to watch fas producing foods.
Try burp baby over laying on stomach on your lap

He could have an ear infection or fever. There are quit a few things that can make a baby not want to eat and be fussy. Better talk to the doctor.

sounds like it could be gas. Oval worked miracles for my little girl. However if the baby isnt eating and you are getting worried, i would bring him/her to the doctor. Better safe than sorry. You need to be careful that dehydration doesnt happen too. good luck
