What about having this baby evaluated be a Pediatric Chiropractor?  This
story was related to me by my chiropractor.  The Ped Chiro saw a baby who was
tense & cried alot, didn't sleep well.  She discovered a pinched nerve in the
neck & gently adjusted the baby.  Almost immediately the baby relaxed & fell
asleep for many hours.  The feedings went much better after this.

I suffered a whiplash this past summer causing neck & shoulder pain for the
last 6 months.  I couldn't turn my head one way very far without a lot of
pain.  After having chirop treatments I'm getting mobility back & minimal
pain.  A pinched nerve in the neck was causing the problem as the vertebrae
were putting pressure on the nerve.

Maybe this could help this baby or cranial-sacral therapy.
