A member asked:

3 day old newborn terrible gas, not pooping and inconsolable?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: There are many causes of inconsolable crying in an infant. This include among many others: colic, constipation, gas. Colic it is very common. I would recommend that you first see your physician to make sure there are no other problems.
