welcome to my life.... im so sorry for you!!!!!!

my baby (five weeks) cries non stop unless he is nursing. all day and all night. I figured out how to nurse him while typing so at least im not bored cuz I spend most of my day nursing. I should prob stop and put him on a schedule but I cant stand the crying. it drives me insane.

I really hope it works out for you, I know how maddening it can be

Have you tried to see if he's sensitive to anything you're eating? My fourth child screamed for most of the first six weeks of her life. Then I left her with a bottle of milk formula and she had a severe reaction to it. It occurred to me that if she's so sensitive to milk, she might react to the milk I drink. I stopped drinking milk, and she immediately calmed down. When I had milk again just to test it, she screamed again for about 2 days, and then calmed down again.
Even if she's not sensitive to what you're eating, you might have started a vicious cycle by feeding her too often - she cries, you feed her, even if she's not hungry, she becomes uncomfortable (stomach ache) cries more, you feed her and so on... You might want to try to break the cycle and see what happens.

my baby actually is allergic to milk, nuts, fish and some fruit! (I survive on cake..!) but today he didn't even calm down while nursing, in fact nursing didn't interest him at all till 5 in the afternoon!

a few things to do if the baby keeps on crying:

undress them completely and change pamper-sometimes something they wear is bothering them
examine all fingers and toes, make sure there isn't a hair tied around the little fingers or toes
give a bath, it relaxes them
swaddle and put in swing

if all else fails ask someone else to hold the baby and you go relax a bit, the baby feeds off your tension and can't relax.... (I'm not blaming you, just if the baby stresses you and then feels your stress)
