Respected ma’am
Thank you for your question
Your baby probably has colic which is normal at this age
Don’t worry— this will go away at 2-3 months
Before giving any medication try the following
1. Giving your baby a warm bath
2. Rubbing your infant's tummy or placing your baby on the tummy for a back rub
3. Burping after every feed
4. Using a pacifier
Avoid medication since it is rarely helpful
Next Steps
If your baby is crying excessively or having any other symptoms get an appointment to a Pediatrician
Health Tips
Exclusive breast feeding till 6 months of age
Do not give medications containing Dicyclomine

Hi.
Colic at this age is rare. See if you have sufficient milk. Crying could be due to insufficient milk. Increase your milk.
Next Steps
Medication not required.

There is no gas transfer from mother to baby at all so don't worry. Baby requires feed frequently so crying is most commonly due hunger. So first make sure that baby feeding is proper or not.
Next Steps
feed the baby frequently and adequately
