A member asked:
My exclusively breastfed baby of two weeks cries as if he has discomfort in his tummy, what could be causing that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to know: Crying uses the breathing muscle that makes the stomach push out & get hard. Many assume this means their problem is stomach related. It does not. Brazelton's studies found the average normal 2 wk old fussed 1-2 hrs a day for no known reason.It is hard to speculate whether anything is wrong at all.
