My baby is 3 weeks and 5 days old. I don t think he is colic but when he cries he straightens out and makes his legs very stiff and I can t bend them. He also arches his back at the same time. He is a very strong baby and has been able to hold his head up somewhat on his own for two weeks now. I feel like it may be gas pain but am concerned something may be wrong. All he does is eat and sleep mostly and then when he does cry I feel like it s because he s tired or has stomach pain. I m a first time mom and am nervous something is wrong.
Hi.... Nothing wrong with his tummy. This is called evening colic and is quite common in this age group. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast very fast and in eagerness to Chat Doctor.  Unless the air comes out like burping or flatus this discomfort will be there and next time check if she is sucking too fast and gulping in air too. You will be more convinced. Usually I don't advice any medicines for this as they give only temporary relief. Regards -
