Stop giving powder milk as they are constipating , apply xylocaine jelly to anal area as severe constipation results into anal fissure & blood in stool . Try giving boiled & cooled water by mouth .
Look for pins , tight clothings , wet diaper etc as causes of excessive crying .
Do give exclusive breast feed at least till baby is six months old.
But fir present if excessive cry persists baby needs an expert .
