Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello please help me, my son is 15weeks now and he has colic at 2 weeks old but was getting better till few days ago his stomach rumbles when he feeds on formula milk, it s normally rumbles but he doesnt make a fuss and he use to drink 5-6oz every 3-4hours. Now only 3-4oz every 3-4 hours. Few days ago he starts getting fussing during feed because his belly rumbles every time he take a gulp from bottle and pushes the bottle away starts crying and arching his back, but as soon as I try and put it in his mouth he starts drinking again but does the same thing over and over again. He farts a lot and have bowel movements 1-2 a day. He used to have reflux bringing his milk up after every feed but that s getting better as well as I have changed his milk. He weighs 7kg now.

Well, as u mentioned ur infant weight is OK normal accordingly to his age..but the problem which he is suffering from abdominal colic ,its almost occurs to most of infants as they r in mother's milk or formula milk,things u should remember.,,give frequently but small amounts of feed to baby. Secondly to prevent regurgitation in ur baby u should keep ur baby upright fr at least 15 minutes after feeding, hope it will works.. Thirdly if ur baby still crying from colic and doesn't improves then u may give him small amount of anti spasmotics like syp debridate..hope it WL be helpful..
