2.5month old Baby crying on and off
My 2.5 month old baby was born prematurely and is having to take supplements- Calcium, Multivitamin,Iron and vitD. Also, HMF. Which is why i had been feeding her breastmilk by expressing it. Since her feed demand increased, I have introduced formula milk also. I am combination feeding her with atleast 20-25mins of burping.
I have observed today that she is crying on and off during and after feeding. That remains the case while burping and sleeping as well. Also, this crying is different from hunger cry and discomfort cry. It seems as though she is pain.
Please suggest if there seems to be any issue or if this is normal.

Breast milk contains almost 90% water, so babies digest it very easily. After introducing formula milk, some babies develop increased crying, gas, or stomach discomfort, which is very common. This often happens if the formula is not diluted exactly as advised or while the baby is adjusting. Using the correct dilution and adding colic-relief drops will help reduce discomfort
