    Check her temperature with a rectal thermometer and make sure she's not running a fever that could be making her irritable. I had colic as a baby and drove my parents crazy with how miserable I was. It's possible she's developed colic. Try feeding with a baby bottle designed to not allow air to pass through the bottle and into your babies stomach. If she's not running a fever, isn't sick and you're not sure if it's colic, take her to your pediatrician so she can be examined and diagnosed. They'll also point you in the right direction.

    hiya hun, my son is exactly the same! half way through a feed he will scream in pain and thrust himself backwards. my health visitor said its wind trapped in his wind pipes and its very painful.

    The only thing you can do is hold her up on ur shoulder wind her, walk about and comfort her. your not supposed to give a newborn anything until its older but watered down gripe water may help.

    As soon as she looks like shes going to start screaming take your breast away and wind her, i find this helps, the quicker you try to stop it the less pain she will be in.

    hope this helps, good luck with everything x x x

    Babies scream, that is normal, sounds like colic. As for her poop, she is getting the right amount of cream (hindmilk) and foremilk so she's fine.

    Could be:

    - overtiredness

    - hunger

    - acid reflux

    - constipation or other stomach problems

    - wind

    etc etc etc
