4 month old daughter cries continuously

My baby girl who is just 4 months old cries a lot after waking up from the past one day. She is very happy baby cries only when hungry or need a diaper change I have even given colic drop before feed. I really don't know the reason. She never cried like this even in case of vaccination

Concerned for the weight of my 3.5 month

Good afternoon doc  My baby girl was born with 1.8 kg preterm. At 6 weeks her weight was 3.022 kg At 10 weeks her weight was 4 kg Now at 14 weeks her weight was 5.1 kg She was breastfeeding till one month after that only formula fed. I used Aptamil gold. I had nil milk production after one month even after supplementation and protein rich diet. I have consulted the gynaec for the same as well. She said it might be due to a hormonal imbalance. Please don't judge me that I should be ebf the child. I really tried hard and I could not help. My  girl child is 3.5 months now with 5.1 kg weight and I am extremely worried. As After 6 months, the weight of the child doesn't increase at the same pace as during 3 months. My padetrician didn't advise me for the MCT oil and I was not aware of it till yesterday . I don't know why and feel guilty about it I have consulted other padetrician ,he might have advised it .Can I use MCT for my baby if yes what are dosages? If not, what can I do please reply

Feeding Issues

We have a 55 day baby. He is currently on mixed feed. we are currently feeding him formula using palada every 4 hrs, remaining time he latches. The problem we have is  feeding using palada is getting difficult since he moves his leg and arms too much and tries to take whole milk which results in frequent choking. we tried earlier using bottle, but within 2 days he got so much addicted to bottle that he started refusing breasts. Would like to have suggestions here.

Birth weight 3.2kg

My daughter will turn 1 year on 28th this month her weight now is 7.8kg. Is this weight ok? Also is it a fact or myth that the child will suffer from fever or any mild health concern in every milestone. Like when they start to roll over or crawl or sit or stand or when new teeth grow.
