Need some advice/encouragement... my LO is 3 months old, and has been a gassy lil thing. She's not constantly fussy, but when she is it's pitiful, but thankfully short lived. I can usually shhh her and bounce her, and if necessary give her gripe water and she chills out. She finally just went to sleep after over 2 hours of fussing.... sometimes arching her back and screaming. She is exclusively breastfed, and while I am an advocate for BF for atleast 6 months, this episode has made me think about trying formula earlier, which makes me sad. I did not eat/drink anything different and she had a great morning. I am not opposed to formula, and know a "fed baby is the best baby" but personally I want mine to be breastfed for minimum six months. I've never not been able to settle either one of my babies after 10-20 mins, and 2 hours seemed like an eternity. Advice? Suggestions?

@goautoannie, no problem. Hope you figure it out. I also gave my son tummy calm and it helped a lot and started him on Gerber probiotic drops

The arching her back is a classic sign of acid reflux and if she doesn’t spit up it could be silent reflux. Could also be a milk allergy. I found out at 3 months my son had a milk allergy. But talk to the pediatrician about reflux
