8 weeks baby crying continuously
Hi,
My baby girl is 8 weeks old. She is fit and fine but she sometimes cries continuously without any reason. She doesn't take the feed properly. If she is crying coz of hunger she should take my feed , if she is not getting enough milk, she should atleast take formula milk. She isn't taking either properly. I am having enough milk supply. Plz help.

from your history it appears that your child is having colic pain due to gas in abdomen
in colic pain you can give anti colic medicines like colicaid 0.5 ml to the child and this medicine can be given maximum three or four times per day but to prevent this problem kindly do regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes.
do not kee ep the child back on the bed after one burping (all gas is not removed with one burping)
during the colic episode you can do stomach massage and limb cycling movements and if the child is more than 2 months of age you can give tummy time also.
advisable to learn more about it from your doctor.
