Brief Answer:
its the colic pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Babies at this age do feed frequently, as the breast milk gets easily digested, they feel hungry sooner.
Another reason which causes this irritation is colic pain which usually settles in a few months time. I usually prescribe gastica drops 0.3 ml three times daily before feed to decrease this colic pain.
Proper burping after each feed is necessary to decrease the slightly swallowed air going down the intestine (which will increase colic pain).
Formula may not be essential but giving small amount is fine.
Your diet can include usual home diet. No restrictions in that.
Wishing your child speedy recovery
Regards
Dr Arun

Use XXXXXXX soap ( it is safe and best ) for baby.
