Thread: one month old screaming for hours while trying to have a bowel movement?

The entire time my child has been alive (only one month) she screams for atleast 4 hours straight one to two times a day. During her screaming sessions she stiffens her body and cries (tears roll down her face). She was switched to Prosobe Soy Milk at age 2 weeks. She seems to be a little better - the first screaming sessios were 7 hours. She is not constipated, her bowel movements are soft like peanut butter. My little sister had seizures as a newborn and I remember her acting the same way, but she would stop breathing. My child does not stop breathing but I KNOW this is not normal. I have went to 2 pediatricians. The first one said that babies cry. The second one said that she has colic. Colic babies cry when they are awake. She ONLY cries while trying to poop. I know there is something wrong. I have been able to observe other children throughout my life and this was never the case when they were having a bowel movement. ANY suggestions?

My son also went through this and it does sound like colic. I switched my son to Parents choice brand (gentle) my son became a new baby just after taking it for a couple of days. I know they dont recomend this but, I did what ever I could so my baby would stop suffering his ped. also ignored me and said that hes just a cry baby. I hope this helps.
