10 day old new born screaming and crying uncontrollably! Advice needed

Needing advice on what to do, new born has been home for 10 days and is crying and screaming uncontrollably. We’ve taken her to the gp today and the gp has given us a new formula for colic and constipation. We have no idea what is going on and we try everything to soothe her but nothing works. The screaming is like a wailing scream and sounds like shes in pain. Please tell me your experiences with similar experiences like this and when does it get better? Any advice will be much appreciated, we are extremely sleep deprived and dont know who and where to turn to

*UPDATE*

Me and the Mrs would like to thank everyone for the kind and supportive comments. We genuinely really appreciate every one of you that has commented and given us advice. We are extremely sleep deprived and are trying to get through this all. We will definitely try out what people have recommended and see what works moving forward. Reading similar stories has given us confidence that this is just a phase that will eventually fade, hoping that is soon. We’re trying to stay super strong and are very supportive of each other and will do what it takes to comfort the little one. Thank you all, you are a great community!

First time parents (baby formula)

We’ve got an 8 day old new born, Ive got a few questions regarding baby formula. We bought nan comfort and gave it to the baby a few times. She became very constipated and the poos didn’t look right so we decided to give an organic one a try from all the reviews I’ve read. I went with Bubs organic as they claim to be one of the cleanest and grass fed.

  1. Is it okay to change the babies formula cold turkey if we think it’s not right for the baby?

  2. We noticed on the Bubs organic grass fed it doesn’t list Inositol, Carnitine and Taurine are these important as i see many baby formulas that list some of these ingredients.

Please share your experiences with baby formulas what worked for you and how long did it take to find the right one for your baby. I just want what is best for the little one and to have regular bowel movements.

Mrs is trying to breastfeed but supply seems to be low at the moment, so we are doing mixed feeding with formula given more often
