Hi,
It is very common and completely normal in the first three months of age for the baby to experience colicky pain. You can use gripe water or Dentinox baby drop when needed to relieve the colics. Also holding the baby upright with his tummy against your shoulder and massaging the back till the baby burbs after feeds will help decrease the colicky pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
