my almost 6 week old son is having severe tummy pain when feeding. it is not all the time but seems to be getting more frequent. my daughter (now 3yrs) had this problem too and was ultimately and unfortunately put on formula. i refuse to go this route again but it is getting very difficult. the crying is unbelievable and is making me feel sadistic. i have taken cow's milk out of my diet but the problem persists. i have a huge milk supply. also, i am having strange pin prick sensations in my breasts and my nipples are looking very "pink" in the past 2 days.

He may be getting a lot of milk that is not high in fat. Are you familiar with block nursing? Formula would not be an answer unless he has a true allergy to milk. How much is huge?

I would like for you to decrease your supply to around 32-35 ounces total per day.
