2 Month Old Pre-term Baby having issues
Hi Doctor,
My 2month old Pre-term baby (38weeks+4days) has been feeding and sleeping well till now. Since, last few days, although she has been fed, burped and cleaned, she does not seem to calm down sometimes. Mostly at night, she has trouble sleeping and then will cry intensly in intervals.
We are giving everything to her on time. She is passing stool two times every day on set timings. Yet we dont understand what seems to be the problem.
Please guide.

Colic is common in young babies and usually improves on its own by 3–4 months. It can be very stressful, but it does not mean anything is wrong with your baby Here are a few things that can help:
1. Comforting Techniques:- Hold and cuddle your baby more during crying spells., Try gentle rocking, swaddling, or carrying the baby in an upright
2. Feeding Tips:- Make sure your baby is burped well during and after feeds., Keep the baby upright for 20–30 minutes after feeding., If breastfeeding, check the latch and feeding technique., If formula-fed, ensure proper dilution and avoid frequent formula changes.

Hello,
If baby feeding well and sleeping well in daytimes ….abdominal distension is absent ….passing urine 5-7times in day then its normal or due to some colic so again advice to burp well …also its normal habbit of infants upto 3-4 month to sleep well in day and awakening in night associated with excessive cry
So if there is no danger sign then can be feed well, keep dry and burp well

That could be due to colicky pain in stomach due to gas
So give Colicaid drops 0.5ml if baby cry's

Could be infantile colic.
1. Burp everytime after feeds
2. You can try tummy time while awake, gentle massage on abdomen, rocking of legs over abdomen back and forth, back rubs. This helps in release if gasses
3. Try Cholicaid drops 2 drops 3-4 times per day.
4. Don't do any forceful feeding

You have not mentioned what you are feeding and how often. Whether you are enabling burping adequately .
It’s best to give only breast feeds directly, feed only when child is fully awake, and really hungry, and to keep in upright position for as long as needed till she burps.
Not following the above can lead to accumulated gas and discomfort
