Teething usually starts after 6 months of age or later. Gripe water is not recommended. Teether can have plastic and other chemicals which are harmful to babies. Formula may be cause of stomach pain. You can start semi solid foods now as baby is 5 months old. Probiotics may help. Please contact directly

Your baby's weight is good for his age. Your baby's stomach won't be full. Feed him adequately. You can start weaning food like rice kanji , Raji sattva slowly and see. Thank you.
