    What meds have you tried?
    Perhaps the meds are causing the problem.
    Does she tolerate her formula well? Without vomiting or diarrhea?
    Please be more specific about what is happening.
    Have you taken her to the doctor?

    Try Natural health. Go to a health store. Maybe some probiotics. They boost the emune system and help with digestive problems. They are actually really good fir every one.

    What has your pediatrician said about this?

    Could it be due to your stress with the 4 step kids?

    Was the milk expired? Sometimes milk will sour before it's supposed to. And isn't dairy one of those things you can become allergic to later in life? I usually hear about it happening more in the teen years, but can it happen to babies too? Has she eaten anything else new lately? Or maybe too much of something? Does she have any other symptoms?

    And I'll second j_9's question. What did your pediatrician say?

    She could have an ear infection,often indicated by pulling on the ear.A belly ache is often shown by the baby pulling its legs up toward the stomach.
    I would put her on your legs and massage her back and pat her back,soundly.
    Walk her around as the more she cries the more air she will swallow and if it is gas,it would make it worse.
    Crying non stop for over an hour ,after you have tried the other things,warrants a trip to the ER in my opinion.

    Can't think of the name, but actually this is fairly common for a lot of kids. Having a tummy ache where rubbing or laying on top of one parent makes it feel better. The child's doctor may have some great advice

    Is there a nurse line you can call? Me and my boyfriend have different insurance, but on the back of each of our cards is a 24/7 nurse's line. Maybe a nurse can help until you can talk with your dr?

    Well this morning she fine. Maybe it was just a bad day for her, she has an appt today anyway, it will most likely start again this afternoon, I'm guessing at what happen yesterday, and she starting to wake up at night crying and when I put her in my bed everything fine

    There are so many possibilities, the doctor really is your best bet.

    Have you ever heard of fennel tea? It's available in some health stores, it's a powder that you can add to babies bottle and it'd designed only for babies (although I've used it too when I get a tummy ache). The main ingredient is fennel which helps settle the tummy.

    My kids always got tummy aches when they were teething, so that could be another possibility.

    Let us know what the doctor says. :)

    Im glad to hear that!
    I know the feeling of a crying baby,it makes you crazy BUT...
    Putting her in bed with you is not a good thing for either of you.
    It is dangerous and it is also not good for your baby's development.
    She needs to learn to separate from you so that she can learn and grow.
    Sleeping with her is also dangerous.Many babies are suffocated every year by sleeping with their parents.
    NO ONE MEANS to do that but it happens.
    Look at the statistics.
    Do not sleep with your baby anymore honey,its really no good for anyone.
