He gets so uncomfortable and seems to be trying to have a bm but cant, so that's what I assumed it was. I have been using gas drops 2 times a day when it gets bad, but not today or yesterday bc my mom suggested it could be a culprit? I'm not sure what exactly is wrong!

is it actual constipation? breastfed babies can go up to 10 days without a bm because they absorb the nutrients so quickly. gas can also come from carbonation so keep an eye on that as well. have you tried gas drops or gripe water?
