A. is very common under 6 months of age bcz of gas in stomach Exclusive breast feed ur baby till 6months of age. Feed ur baby with proper position. Burp properly after each and every feed for at least 10 min or till baby take 4 burp. Give Tummy time 4-5 times in a day time If still issue persist then Give colic aid drops 0.5 ml (if needed). Maximum 4times per day.

A. Yes it's common in under 6months of age baby's, it's just because of colic pain or gas near neck area, that's why they can't feed because of shoulder pain, so need to calm your baby and then give burp properly, if burping is not work then give colic pain relief drops then after some time feed your baby he will definitely feed after relief. so daily try to give burp your baby and if he is not taking burp naturally then go for colic pain relief.
