@jovromero, just gonna start messaging you when I have a problem you always help me haha I'll try the probiotic drops I hadn't heard of that yet, yes I'm breastfeeding I thought it might be dairy but I stopped and it made no difference, she screams when I massage her belly 😔

Also are you breastfeeding her? if so watch what you eat because sometimes its what we eat that hurts them. I had to stop eating onions and spicy stuff with mine til he finally outgrew that stage

probiotic drops from Gerber helped my son with gripe water as well as the pediatrician for samples I'm sure they have some. the drops are $30 dollars but worth it. Also my son outgrew that stage at 2 months. Also you could run her tummy and that will help her.

Both of my kids grunted the first 3 months, to the point their face was all red and straining also. but they weren't crying, and both of their pediatricians said it was normal. My son just stopped not long ago. He would grunt so loud all day,every day!

@kbrown91, just grunting loud, and she gets all red like she's trying to poop, I think it's really bad gas she starts freaking out if I don't pick her up the second she starts straining and if I lay her down it starts immediately this is new too maybe started last week

Is she crying when doing it or just grunting loud?

probably because you're baby is uncomfortable, hungry, or wants to be held

Grunting is actually very normal. they grow out of it by 3 months.
