Crying is normal: for babies. If she is gaining weight and sleeping in between feedings, her behavior may be normal, esp. if she stops crying after being picked up. If not, consider a formula intolerance and try an elemental formula such as Nutramigen or Alimentum. BM's will be quite loose. Crying babies can be very stressful to a new mom. If you are depressed, please see your doctor.
