hi
welcome to health care magic
mam as you say symptoms it looks like your baby is constipated and due to bloating she is experiencing pain ..make her to drink plenty of water and juices so she passes stool and check whether she passes air ...once she passes air and passes stools her stomach pain will get relieved ...try to avoid constipated give her high fibre diet and water....if pain persists even after that try to do a motion test routine and consult a physician for further investigation
