My 40 day old child cries every night
My 40days old child wakes up everyday around 10:30pm and stays up till 2:30-3:00pm... During this time he's very cranky and crying. He is visibly having trouble with burping and gas release .. his cry intensifies as he continues to release gas for a few minutes . He rejects breastfeeding during this time and is constantly expecting to be held on hand upright. He doesn't get comfortable even on a reclined chair or bed. He's on Exclusive DBF. And I his mother am experiencing overactive let down and over supply. I am taking all measures to handle my supply and let down issue . However i would like to rule out colic. Pls help
