My little one (5 weeks) is on breastfeed plus formula (similac, once in a day). He is not gaining weight. He was 3.1 kg at birth and still the same. Also, whenever he cries a lot when he releases the gas. We are giving some probiotics and simethicone dropsrecommended by our pediatrician but none of them is working for him. Kindly help.

Your baby has abdominal pain due to formula feeds and he must be breastfed only and stop bottle and do proper burping. It is not good to keep giving many medicines for the newborns when these can be avoided by simple methods like I told you need to check his thyroid screening to find out if he has hypothyroidism.
