Hi
In my opinion phena kid is not a good choice for your child cranky nature. It has promethazine which cause excessive sleepiness and not safe for 1.5month infant.
Try to find out the cause of your baby's cry. It might be insufficient feed, too much fore-milk due to hyper lactation leading to stomach distention, inappropriate environmental temperature, tight clothing or inadequate burping after feeds. These are very common reasons for a child to become cranky.
Try to find the cause and treat it.
