Baby is 5 weeks and he has been howling during every milk feed, regardless breast or bottle. Otherwise he is fine. What I can do to make him feel better?

Agree with Roshni that it could be silent reflux. It could even be Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Both conditions have symptoms of baby resisting feedings. Reflux could be reduced by the following methods: - Adjusting the positioning of your baby (reflux is worst when baby is lying flat on his/her back) - Avoid compressing your baby’s abdomen - Eliminate tobacco smoke exposure, keeping the environment smoke-free - Relax the baby For GERD, your doctor may prescribe reflux medication for your baby to see if it eases the symptoms. Do consult your doctor for a proper diagnosis. For more information on these conditions, you can refer to this link: http://kellymom.com/hot-topics/reflux/
