Fussiness in my 2-month-old

Fussiness is very common in 2-month-olds. The most frequent cause at this age is gas colic, since baby's digestive system is still maturing. Fussiness typically peaks in evening hours; baby may pull legs to belly, turn red, and have crying episodes that are hard to soothe.
Things to try: holding baby upright for 15-20 minutes after feeding for burping, rocking gently in arms, bicycle leg movements, warm baths. If breastfeeding, mother avoiding gas-producing foods (onion, cabbage, broccoli, legumes) for a few days may help.
However, consult your pediatrician if fussiness comes with: fever 38°C or higher, no wet diaper for 6+ hours, green mucous or bloody stool, persistent vomiting, feeding refusal, or rash. Beyond these, gas-related fussiness usually subsides by 3-4 months.
