Welcome to HCM
Formula feeds like dexolac sometimes can cause such problems.
Breast milk is the best milk for the baby
Exclusive breast feeding is required for 6 months.
All these side effects will not cause any problem to your baby, it will settle in few days once your baby adapts it.
No treatment is required.
If it persists switch over to Nan 1.
Take care.
