My 2 week old is eating CONSTANTLY and screaming when he's not. Is this Colic?
I feed him for an hour and a half and he falls asleep. But the minute I move him he wakes up screaming again! I fed him for almost 3 hours last night. I am breastfeeding him. Is he not getting enough from me? Is this normal?? I just feel like a horrible mother because I can't make him happy!

Welcome to the frustrating and saddening world of baby colic. I am very, very sorry - and completely understanding.
My baby was like this for the first three months of his life. We did find the cause, he was reacting to the cow's milk in MY diet. I found this out after he was a month old, and, even after eliminating the milk from my diet, it took awhile to be flushed from my system. Here: http://www.kellymom.com/babyconcerns/food-sensitiv...
I actually had to eliminate the hidden dairy as well. I was so thankful for kellymom for giving me that list!
I hope your baby will get better and you will find what is causing his colic. You are not a bad mommy, do not let yourself think that. You need all the positive energy you can muster right now.
Oh, just a thought: I had a yoga ball that my baby LOVED! The only way he would fall asleep at night was if I had him swaddled tight and bounced with him on the ball. It helped so much I'd suggest the investment for everyone! It wasn't an instant fix, but he would stop screaming and start whimpering instead.
