Only breastfeeding is recommended till 6 month completed. Avoid solids. Crying may be due to gases. Give colic drops like colicaid drops 5 drops thrice a day for 2 days.

Recommended age to start solids is after 180 days completion WITH solid readiness signs. Not before that. I have posted about this on Instagram recently There are many reasons children awaken at night - from discomfort, sweating, cold, itchiness, or finally breast milk. Follow a fixed schedule bedtime routine for your child everyday. Book an appointment with me to discuss further. You can follow me on Instagram @pediatrician_india for more helpful tips ! Take care !
