Its going to be ok.. My son was very simular. Always crying, NEVER slept.. always fussy. We tried so many different formulas. He was always way under weight.. He still is ultra thin n i used to stress mtself out soooo much! It took me way too long to finally listen to what othr moms and his pediatrician told me.. they wont let themselves starve.. We finally stuck with a formula for fussy gassy babies.. as for teething.. doubt it at 3 months old but possible.. ask your pedi they.re usually right.. im assuming your baby has colic.. read up about it. their may be some good tips u could find.. i never thought to google it before n just stressfully delt with it but u may find some good advice out there.. im sorry.. i hope i helped at least a little... just an fyi... my son is now 3 n sleeps 12 hrs at night!! cuz he refuses to nap during th day but hey i.ll take it!

You don't have to answer but were you on any medication (or tobacco) during pregnancy? Babies can go through withdraw stages even from antidepressants. It will pass. Ask you Dr about pedisure. We started it at 12mo for my lo. She started teething at 3mo and by 4 or 4 1/2mo she had cut teeth. They all came quick, some 2 at a time. You could try teething tablets, grip water, baby massages, or lavendar baths (purple bath wash for babies). It seems like you've tried all formulas. (we had to use similac sensitive for fussiness n gas then they recalled all of it and we used parents choice) Do you burp really good? Sometime extra gas on the tummy causes fussiness. Gas drops are also good for fussy babies.
As a thought have you tried a different bottle?or maybe a graduated nipple? If teething having the stage 1 nipple can cause pain. Think of it like having a tooth ache or sore throat and drinking from a straw. There are many possibilities and so many different suggestions. It depends on the specific problem. Try freesing a wet rag and let lo chew on it, there is also a mesh feeder you an put ice chips in (when older try frozen fruit). Good luck, remember to stay calm bc this 2 shall pass.

Well you should try gripe water for gas it will also help her poo if she's constipated or is having hard poo it can make it softer for her to push out. Also we had the same problem with the milk with our first we finally broke down and put a little bit of strawberry syrup (or chocolate ) in with the formula (recommended by our pedi. He's older and knows alot of good tricks) fixed it right up. Another thing if shes teething give her a little bit of children's tylonal 1.25 ml for her age it will also help her sleep good our first alps did this lol good luck!!

Its ok to be frustrated! It only gets better i promise! My daughter had a lot of gas issues at first, and the over the counter gas/colic remedies helped a bit. Every baby is different, so it will be some trial and error. I have heard the amber necklaces work wonders, just make sure you never leave your baby alone with it on or let your baby sleep with it on. Fresh air also does wonders for babies (weather permitting) a nice long walk should help with a nap so you could have a little break. Once they reach a certain weight a lot of digestive issues disappear so hang in there!
