my pedi said it could be bc of babies undeveloped digestive system adn that he would grow out of it. around 8 weeks it completly stopped

My LO did that too - I cut out dairy, coffee, and acidic fruits but didn't see a massive improvement. What helped us was giving LO a daily probiotic (recommended by the midwife) starting around 5 weeks. Her tummy issues went away and I was able to eat dairy and drink coffee again - happy days! I'm not sure how early you can start probiotics but I think they're definitely worth looking into.

What color is his poop? If it is not seedy and yellow, but instead green, it may be that the bottle you gave him had too much hindmilk and not enough foremilk. My LO was gassy for a while before I figured this whole thing out. I wrote a post on it: http://www.hellobee.com/2012/12/07/battling-oversupply/

If you are still experiencing engorgement it is possible that is the culprit.

I know it is easy for me to say this, since I never had this specific issue, but I try not to give to much attention to anything that says "cut out X food." According to Kellymom, food sensitivities are fairly uncommon: http://kellymom.com/health/baby-health/food-sensitivity/

Moms all over the world eat all sorts of foods, so I figure most babies adapt to any diet. I feel like warnings about food sensitivities are one of those things that doctors used to tell women to discourage them from nursing.

I think mothers know best when it comes to their children so if you think he has tummy trouble, he probably does. I will say for my own kid, I attributed a lot to gassiness or hunger that might have just been fatigue or general fussiness in my kid (that witching hour is a killer: http://kellymom.com/parenting/parenting-faq/fussybaby/ this link lists common and uncommon reasons for nighttime fussiness). Sometimes kids are really fussy for no reason. In the beginning I tried so hard to burp my baby. I realized later that he never burped during nightime feeds, just went back to sleep. I stopped burping then and haven't looked back!

@Mrs Green Grass: Oh yes! Reflix for sure is also an issue! Forgot about that one!

For us, with both babies, gas was a huge problem until their gut matured at around 2 or 3 months. We would burp them for literally 20 minutes between breasts or every 1-2 ounces. We did everything to get them to burp or fart but it was still so bad. I was really debating getting The Windi for LMW. By the time I was ready to pull the trigger, she seemed to grow out of it.

I told my fart routine to a friend on facebook when she said her baby was fussing so much between feedings. She tried it and said he farted 5 huge farts and fell right to sleep!

Basically I laid WJ on his back and pulled his legs up in the air, perpendicular to his body, then circled them around and kind of pushed his legs towards his belly. We'd do this until he farted. It didn't work on LMW but it worked great on WJ.

ETA: it didn't get better for LMW until she started tummy sleeping. Now it's much better!

Not reading the response but it could be one of a few things or a combo.
Reflux, gassiness, MSPI?
Unfortunately the symptoms for all of them are all very similar!

I would try gas first and eliminate gassy foods from your diet. Citrus, spicy foods, broccoli, google a list, it's pretty long!

Hopefully you find the culprit.
