New born 3 weeks old, cranky
My 3 week old son is crying in between feeding. He is arching his back, getting all stiff and starts crying. I try him to burp and feed Gain but he is cranky. What is the problem?

Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. This could be colic or even acidity problem in babies (GERD) since baby is very small I would advice pls visit your pediatrician. Meanwhile u can prop up the baby bed by 30° (that can be done by putting 6-8 cm block under head end of bed . and make baby sleep on this bed.
