Why does a 2-month-old baby cry while eating?

There can be several common reasons why a 2-month-old baby cries during feeding. One of the most common is that the bottle hole may be flowing too fast or too slowly—with fast flow, the baby gags while swallowing; with slow flow, the baby gets tired and frustrated. Gas colic is also a frequent cause: the baby swallows air while suckling, which upsets the stomach. Reflux (stomach contents backing up into the food pipe) is common in babies and causes discomfort during or immediately after feeding. Additionally, the baby may cry if tired, sleepy, or very hungry and feeding hastily. A general suggestion: keeping the baby upright during feeding, pausing every 30–60 ml to pat the back, and checking the bottle hole can help. If crying occurs at every feeding, the baby is not gaining weight, or there is green-mucous vomit, I recommend consulting a pediatrician.
