6 weeks baby refusing milk

Question

Asked for Male, 6 Years

Hello doctor, our 6 weeks old baby who is on both expressed and formula milk usually takes 3-4 ounces per feed 7-8 times a day. He hasn't taken enough milk since last night. Last night he could only take one ounce at a time and he is refused the remaining feed and cried. We gave him colic aid last night his crying stopped and he was able to sleep well between feeds but his intake is still the same. Can you let us know what would be the solution?
