It may be due to bottle feeding. Bottle feeding causes gulping of more air and that can result in to more colic. Give the formula milk with a small 100ml glass or by bowl and spoon, to decrease colic. Best will be to decrease milk and concentrate on the complementary feeding. Increase the food items gradually to decrease the milk and thus the colic. Stool colour is normal. Wrote about multivitamins yesterday. Colimex drops once a day occasionally is okay but don't make it a daily routine.

He seems to be growing fine. He should have grown out of colic by now. Monitor how stomach symptoms settle and if no better, one physical examination would be good
