Its time to head to the pediatrician and ask.
Your baby could have acid reflux that is bothering her.
Best of luck!

Formula often makes babies windy. Have you spent enough time gently patting her on the back to get all the wind up. it takes quite a long time but if you don't do it she would be in a lot of pain. Walk around gently patting her and sort of rocking/jigging around whilst you do - listen for little burps - at least two or three after each feed. - also it won't last much longer once babies get past 3 months things start to slowly get better. Hang in there, it's worth it in the end.

Please, take her to her pediatrican asap. Talk with the dr. about what is going on. She is hurting somehow. Maybe get some tests done to see what is going on inside of her? Like x-rays, or ultrasound? Is she allergic? Maybe needs soy formula? Ask the dr. if changing the formula so often has helped or hindered?.There is something wrong somewhere inside her little body. Might be colic, might be more than that. Please find out what is going on. Colic is NOT always the only answer. Is there a children's hospital in your area? I wish you the best for her. Take care.

It sounds like this is your first child. Changing the formula alone, can be really hard on an infants digestive track and make them cranky. Try to relax, I know its hard, but a lot of times babys feed off of their parents emotions, the more wound up and stressed you are the fussier your baby is likely to be. Take a moment to breath and then try to do some relaxing techniques with you and your baby. Infant massage was really popular when my daughter was little. When my sons are cranky I just put them in a warm shower with me, soon they are happy and content. I think my middle son was the cleanest kid on earth, his dad gave him so many showers. Your baby is trying to communicate with you, just take a moment and listen, you'll figure it out.

why would you changer her formula b/c she is crying? all babies cry and it could be just colic. It might have nothing to do with formula or anything on that concern. Just soother her and hold her rock her.. do what you need to do. ask a doc if it gets worse. but switching formula can upset her even more if you keep doing that.

Changing formula is not good. It's probably upsetting her stomach. Stick with one formula, pat and rub her back after each feeding. If she doesn't burp, give her some Mylicon drops to get rid of gas.

colic.... you can't change the formula that often, its far too hard on their tummies. You should give her about 3 weeks to adjust to any one formula before making any judgement calls on it. But ya, it sound like she has colic. Just be patient...its hard but my son got over it when he was 4 months old...
