Temperature: Monitor for fever. His rectal temperature should be less than 100.4 and if it is higher, please see the emergency room. Ensure that he is feeding well and has normal elimination patterns. Discuss the possibility of colic with your pediatrician.

Crying normal: It may not be the answer you want to hear, but crying is normal in infants, especially newborns, as they have no other way to communicate with mommy and daddy. If he is feeding well, gaining weight, then very unlikely any medical problem and he is just trying to tell you something. It may be that I'm hungry, cold, wet, want a cuddle, don't want a cuddle. Talk it over with your pediatrician!
