Dear Lactnetters,

Suggestions or ideas please.
Baby at 2 weeks of age begins crying at least hours a day, mostly in
evening and nights.  We discussed foods, ad nauseaum. Mother does not eat
much and states foods she does eat are not eaten frequently.  Does not eat
or drink cow's protein.  When nursing baby does not gulp a lot so T don't
think the baby is getting excessive air, except maybe by continuous crying.
BMs are yellow when she has BMs.  Baby stopped having BMs without
stimulation at 2 weeks.  Mom stimulates with thermometer every couple days.
 When baby does have BM very large.  Baby wants to nurse all the time and
is gaining weight well.  I don't believe it is hindmilk-foremilk imbalance
because of BM color and good weight gain.  Doc says colic.  Gave Mom a list
to help nothing helps.  Suggestions may help initially but then back to
crying.  What am I missing?  How can I help this mother and baby?
