A member asked:

Any helpful advise for a 12 day old baby who is suddenly extremely fussy, struggling with gas, latches and then pulls off a minute later and screams?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Colic: Often gas can peak act 2-6 weeks of age, but should pass after this period. You can give Mylicon dropper up to 3x/d for gaseous discomfort. Also, can use a rectal thermometer in the rectum after burping with feedings.
