Baby crying a lot
Hi doctor,
My baby is 3 week and 4 days old. First week she was so silent. And from second week she started crying more at night ( more than 3 hours). We consulted doctor they told it may be colic and started colic medicine. But after giving medicine also crying not stopped. And again we consulted they told to stop cow milk for me and gave some digestive enzymes for baby. But that also not helped much. Now a days baby is crying in both daytime and nighttime. We started nasoclear drops also for mild chest in drawing. Baby always sleeping or on feeding only. She won't play, she is not slept in 10 min after feeding, she will start crying and won't stop till hours. Is this normal baby behaviour? Being a first time parent worried so much about baby's health.

Start and continue exclusive breast feeding followed by burping till 6 months of age. This is ideal for your baby for proper growth and development. She will be less susceptible to usual infections and will have more IQ with mother's feeds

First need to check if your baby is getting enough milk. Baby's can cry due to inadequate feed, if baby is passing 6 to 8 times urine in a day, then usually milk is sufficient. And also weight gain shud be there. If not, concentrate on feeding, which requires counselling.
Next Steps
If feeding is adequate, then it could be normal behaviour of the baby who needs to be handled always or check for diaper rash or still could be colic.
