Gassy, Unhappiness In Child. On Similac Advance. Help?

My son is 5 weeks old and he is on similac advance. After every bottle he fusses, unhappy, stiffens, and cries in pain every time. he is also very gassy. I am curious if I can switch him to the sensitive or the soy if that would help him. I have burped him many times throughout a bottle and I tried the gas medicine and I have changed his nipples on the bottle and nothing is working.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Its really sad why the baby is not on breastfeeds that is because all of the babies on breastfeeds are usually happy.However now that the baby is on similac advance continue with it.Maybe the baby has a colic and discuss with his docter whether he requires some antispasmodic drops.In fact it would be better that he be examined by the pediatrician before you switch to soy milk .
Bye
