Newborn cries

2020-07-19 20:09:10
My baby is 14 days old and from past 1 week baby is crying almost for 3 hours every day mostly at night sometimes in day time also. We gave the colic medicine for 4 days, but still baby cries. Being the first time mother it is very difficult to understand baby. Due to this Covid situation not able to go to hospital also. Please suggest is this normal?

Hello. I understand your woes. In most cases this might be taken normal but there are a fee pointers that you need to be aware of. The nature of the cry is important and you will have to share the amount and the number of feeds taken by the child at night. Please refrain from using Colic medications.
Next Steps
Burping the child with a proper technique.
Health Tips
Detailed workup required.

It's probably colic problem. Burp the baby well after each feed Keep baby head up and don't allow to let him lay down just after feed. Keep baby dry
