Answers:

my son's breastfed but are you sure he doesn't have a whey protein issue? My son can't break the protein in cow's milk and that is even after it has been partially broken down by me-- if your son is formula fed he would be recieving even more of the protein. If I cheat and have a little bit of cheese or something I will bicycle his legs and sing "wheels on the bus" until he (pardon the term) farts and usually he will feel a little better. putting him tummy down (with head not touching so almost in a laying kneeling position) on a vibrating chair used to help too. good luck, it gets easier!
