Hello,

Perhaps he is having tummy pain. Raise his head from shoulders.

Observe if he passing urine or stool regularly or crying while getting a bowel movement or passing urine.

Observe if his oral mucosa is white or red, reflecting inflammation.

Give tummy ache baby drops. Give paracetamol at bedtime at night. Be careful with foods you eat as sometimes those won't get easily digested by your breastfeeding baby.

If it will persist should consult with his pediatrician as further diagnostic tests might be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
