I am in this corner too from a fathers perspective. From a professional standpoint I would just make sure that the crying is not from stomach pain after all. I notice you have had problems with cow milk intolerance which is very common during the first few years. During the gradual development of tolerance, at which Point its common to start reintroducing milk Products, its not unusual for the Child to display only discrete symptoms, not least during night time.
There is also the very common but often overlooked problem with slightly too slow passage time through the large intestine. Often referred to as constipation but commonly missed as the texture and frequence might appear perfectly normal. To complicate matters further, even a slight intolerance to milk protein that in it self does not cause any pain, may very well contribute to a tendency to constipation.
In your case it sounds like it is probably just a case of sleeping pattern, not pain. I could not resist mentioning the other stuff though. Prof. habit I suppose.
