Hello Roxanne, thankyou for your question.

When babies are uncomfortable they do scream and it can be a sign that she's in need of a formula change but it's best not to do this without a drs.ok. Babies at this age still have an immature digest system.It is important to give nothing but the formula .

Any time you have doubts do get the baby to a dr or emergency room .

Little one's who have problems with formula can benefit from a formula change since there are now formulas that are easier for babies to digest. If this child normally has no problems with the formula then I would definitely get the child seen.

There are also over the counter "gas drops" you can buy for infants but again you need a drs. ok.

It sounds like you are doing as much as you can do and you are doing a good job.

Some times with babies they just cry,scream and it feels really difficult when you love them. I know you will consider the dr and I hope you get a formula change to one the easier digestible ones.

Will the formula cause white lumps to appear in my daughter's poop?
