Does he have vomitting or constipation? If he is puking after feeds then burp him well, little amount of regurgitation is normal in babies If you are saying that he is constipated then you can put glycerine suppository But it can be normal to pass stools once in 3-4days You can also give colicaid drops for discomfort

Hi. Give burp the baby after every feed for 20 min or hold erect. Feed on demand and not for every crying. Vomiting small amounts is normal if baby is gaining weight adequately.
