Relax.since  he is active , not crying,no fever, he is fine..urine output is normal. Just let him be whatever he wants He sucksbreasts . Fine. His weight is normal Now start weaning. .Priciple is to start a new item every week. Start with small quantity. And  go on increasing. Next week start second item and so on. Many food items are offered to develop taste. Sweet lime juice is to develop taste. Now focus on feedind solids at adult timing in adult fashion ie with spoon glass.  And a plate. Parents have to put in efforts.  Play with him and let him be active. Don't foget immunization. Right nutrition. Immunization, hygiene, good healthy emotional welbeing is important. Never shout or argue or call bad names in presence of baby. Respect your baby's presence. It pevents mental problems.  Give chance to play in sun . Incultate habit of being Happy  and atmosphre of happiness.

Looks like he has colic. Give colic drops like colicaid 10 drops thrice a day. How much formula are you giving? Poop colour and colic are common with formula milk. Weight is good. Contact directly for better guidance
