I remember feeling like a pacifier. Give a call to a local hospital and find a lactation consulting nurse. I remember my little guy when he was teething would nurse like that and cry again (his ped would say babies start teething when they are born, so no it isnt too early for that). does he have an ear infection? ask the lacation nurse, but I wouldnt do formula. oh, also, I had to cut out gas-ious foods, spicey foods and milk/cheese from my diet because it gave him a stomach ache. maybe he has reflux? my little guy was a spitter but when he wasnt doing that he would just get that "bitter beer" face and be fussy. the prescription he had for reflux was heaven sent and there are no side effects. read up on reflux and if you think it is reflux dont let your pediatrician say "it is more of a laundry problem than a medical problem" thats baloney. if he looks like he is in pain and fussy, then it is more than a "laundry problem" guess what I am trying to say is, dont give up, have confidence in yourself, try everything, seek support. I wish you the best.
