Your pediatrician : Needs to see your baby. If you're bottle-feeding because of your medications, ask your doctor to watch him feed & to show you the " colic carry." if he's healthy, it won't hurt him to cry, but he'll swallow air & need burping. Put him on his back in his crib, drowsy but awake, having wiped out his mouth after the last feed, at the same time nightly, so he learns to self-calm & consolidate sleep.
