1 month old crying constantly

Really needing some advice here, I'll be seeing a GP as well but want to see what people think beforehand.

My baby just turned 1 month old and is bottle fed with MAM anti-colic with expressed milk and formula top up, she lost alot of weight after my c section delayed milk supply. Ever since 2 weeks ago she's had what we would class as witching hour of crying during the evening every night for hours. She seemed to have problems with wind despite burping her so gave her Infacol, after 2 weeks it didn't help.

Since Friday she now just cries all day, she cries for milk, but then cries in the middle of a feed and rejects it, then cries and arches her back and doesn't want to be held, then she'll be rooting so try to give it back but just goes red, pulls a face and cries again.

I've tried changing the bottle teat and it made no difference either, nothing seems to work, me and my partner are losing our minds on what's wrong, we can't settle her and have tried every shooting technique we can find, has anyone else ever experienced this and can shed some light here?

Fussy evenings could just he normal baby behaviour.

If it's constant though, has anyone mentioned the possibility of CMPA (Cow's Milk Protein Allergy)?

You might want to read this on Dairy too.

Can I just ask which formula you're using too?

And we're they assessed for Tongue Tie? Just wondering as you are expressing so thought you may have had some problems with latch?

No one's mentioned a Dairy allergy to us but it's definitely something I'll bring up at the GP!

They did look under her tongue at hospital and didn't say anything about a tongue tie, she lost more than the average weight and we had to stay back in hospital where they put us on combi feeding. Her milk gets topped up with Aptamil 1 ready to feed which is what they had her on in hospital.

She's now gaining weight but for peace of mind we prefer to see what amount she's having and carried on combi feeding with my milk in a bottle and top ups of formula.
Since Friday she's been crying all day and started choking at feeding times with some spit up, she also sounds congested alot despite using saline and the Fridababy snot sucker

If she's congested and crying a lot, did she have the anymore of the symptoms of CMPA from the link?
