Help! Worsening colic at 12 weeks.... :o(

Hi! I would so appreciate some testimonies of similar problems and how you overcame it/survived and kept your sanity. My ds is now 12 weeks, bottle fed on aptamil since 10 days old. He hasn't been the easiest feeder for weeks now, getting distracted during feeds, falling asleep or fighting the bottle, but lately it has got so bad. He won't take his feeds properly - he has gone from taking 6-7oz 5 times a day to barely having 3oz each feed. Sometimes he'll only have 1oz then refuse anymore. He cries all evening and seems in pain with trapped wind. Have tried infacol, colief, dr brown's bottles and now have him on aptamil easy digest (altho only started yesterday). I know colic usually starts earlier than this and settles at around this time - anyone else any experience of problems starting at around 12 weeks? I am so demoralised and getting tearful and fed up constantly. Please help!

Forgot to say, gripe water has helped a little but I can rarely get it into him. He occasionally takes it in a bottle but often refuses it, won't take a spoon and spits it out from a syringe.
