Colic issues with my newborn baby
My daughter is 1month old...she developed jaundice at her 5th day and was treated with photo therapy and then discharged with all reports normal. Doctor asked us to feed her every 2 hour without fail, be it mother's milk or formula milk which are following.
The issue is that my baby cries a lot, seems due to colic problems and mostly at night. We give her colic drops but it doesn't help much. Moreover, she has developed this habit of getting breastfeed and then only she will sleep, even if her stomach is paining. Due to this indigestion seems to increase and sometimes she vomits milk.
What can we do to better this situation ? Please advise.

Some babies are gassy or colicky which particularly increases after first month..please make sure to burp your baby for 10-15 min after each feed.
A lot of babies this young develop an association between sleeping and breastfeeding which is completely normal.
Also babies breastfeed not only when hungry but for comfort too.
Breastfed babies do not naturall overfeed so vomiting might be due to other reasons.
