I don't know why you chose formula. But suggest you to consider breastfeeding now. It is called relactation. Keep your baby with you all the time to produce hormones.
Colic in infants is very common. But subsides in 2 to 3 months
Burping after each feed is useful
Colcaid drops also may be given
Health Tips
don't give medicine containing Dicyclomine.

Hi! Babies on formula and bottle feeding , most common to have abdominal colic. As baby grows older it subsides.
To reduce colic, do good burping for atleast 15min, give baby tummy time when active, gentle tummy massages .
When necessary you can give colic aid drops.
