Baby crying uncontrollably
My 6 weeks baby is crying alot. We have visited doctor and he claims that we have overfed the child. As we reduced the milk level from 80ml to 45 ml for 3 hours, she cry more than before. Another clinic told us to give 1 oz water after every meal. I read online that babies cannot be fed with water. I'm confused on which instruction to follow. Please advice.

For first 5 months of life,ONLY milk feeds to be given. Just give feeds at regular gaps of 2-1/2 to 3 hours,burp for atleast 10 mins. Babies have colic for 3-4 months,specially in evening and night time,treatment is simple burping for 10 mins,no medicine is required.
