Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. This could be colic or even acidity problem in babies (GERD) since baby is very small I would advice pls visit your pediatrician. Meanwhile u can prop up the baby bed by 30° (that can be done by putting 6-8 cm block under head end of bed . and make baby sleep on this bed.
