Colic is an excessive crying from assumed gas discomfort but it is not pain and should not be present all day long. If present all day kindly see your paediatrician for thorough evaluation and don't assume colic.
What do you mean by change like red? Most people eyes are red when crying or maybe I didn't understand the question? Please clarify!
You didn't state if your baby is on exclusive breastfeeding or not. If your baby is on EBF It's a normal phenomenon It is not Constipation. Just the baby "feeling" movement of gas and stool which they perceive as discomfort. It's not a problem and no need for any treatment or remedy. If your child is given formula, please ensure it is mixed in the right proportion of milk to water as instructed by the manufacturer. Do also give your baby water alongside formula feeds to prevent constipation. However, if the poo comes out hard, please see a paediatrician.
it could be colic but it is better to check out with your paediatrician to be sure of what is actually happening.Kindly take your baby to be examined by a doctor asap
