It's common at this age to have gas or colic problem. Do burping for 10-15 min after each feed to remove gas as much as possible. And u can use colicaid drops 0.5ml only when there is excessive cry passing more gas. Colic will be there occasionally till 6 months age. No need of any regular medications.
