Hi,Make sure that correct technique of mother feeding is being followed or check the dilution of formula feed.Please give feed every 2hrs .
It's better to visit Doctor again to rule out other associated medical conditions if any.
Glycerin rectal suppository 2g(cut it half) at night time for 2 days can be tried at home.
Thank you
