Brief Answer:
Crying
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read theough your question.
The symptoms you describe are consistent with reflux. Reflux is a result of stomach contents coming up into the esophagus. This causes a burning sensation, and can often be very painful.
Reflux can be treated. Sometimes it is treated by changing the formula. Other times it is treated with medicine. Treatment plans depend on the severity of the symptoms.
I recommend consulting with your pediatrician about this. Your pediatrician will be able to determine the appropriate treatment plan. This will alleviate your baby's discomfort and allow for healthy growth.

Teething could definitely be starting at the age. If applying counter pressure by biting on sething, is helpful, then it is most likely the teething that is causing him the grief. In this case there is really very little to worry about.
