My baby boy has been crying between 5 to 6 pm onwards everyday. He has been on formula milk since last 5 weeks and is going to be 3 months old next week. We have tried giving gripe water, colic drop and also tried using Dr Brown milk bottles for more than 1 month, however it doesn't seems to work. Please advise something.

Have you heard of witching hours where babies cry inconsolably at specific timings every day? http://www.babysleepsite.com/newborns/newborn-babies-fussiness-evening-why/ There is actually no cure for this and you have to figure out what works for you: 1. Calm baby down using white noise, swaddle with a light cloth, lay baby down sideways, then gently pat at 70bpm to mimic mommy's heartbeat 2. Holding baby in position as per picture 3. Feeding baby milk in small quantity or nursing helps to calm baby down 4. I personally found that bringing baby out during witching hours work. What I did was I brought my baby out everytime when it was nearing witching hour and I did it for a week. Somehow she stopped crying during those hours for no reason.
