Hello and welcome to HCM .

Evening colic is very common in young babies especially those not fed on mothers milk as the substitute of breast milk or more difficult to digest for the child .

Cows milk can be substituted with Zerolac soya milk formula which is easier to digest for babies .

Gripe water formulations available in the market can be given when the child cries a lot .

Keep the baby on its belly for some time after feeds this helps in expelling gas .

Make sure the baby is given gentle burps after every feed .

You can give homoeopathic medicines Chamomilla 30 and Colocynth 30 two drops each diluted with 1 spoon of boiled and cooled water four times a day to the baby.

Hope this helps ,take care .
