Kindly stop giving your baby palm oil. It’s very dangerous habit.
What you described is known as colic.
Colic is a common phenomenon in babies and it usually resolves on its own by 3-4 months. There is no proven treatments that consistently help every baby.
Treatments that have been tried include:
Gas-relief medications
Available over-the-counter, gas-relief medications such as simethicone (Infacol)
Probiotics
Probiotics are substances that help maintain the natural balance of "good" bacteria in the digestive tract. (Still being researched).
Talk to your baby's doctor before giving your baby any medication to treat colic.
To soothe your crying baby, you can try to:
Hold your baby.
Cuddling helps some babies. Others quiet when held closely and swaddled in a lightweight blanket. To give your arms a break, try a baby sling or other type of baby carrier. Don't worry about spoiling your baby by holding him or her too much.
Keep your baby in motion.
Gently rock your baby in your arms or in an infant swing. Check with manufacturer's guidelines to be sure the swing is appropriate for your baby's age.
Lay your baby tummy down on your knees and then sway your knees slowly.
Take a walk with your baby, or buckle your baby in the car seat for a drive. Use a vibrating infant seat or vibrating crib.
Sing to your baby. A soft tune might soothe your baby. And even if lullabies don't stop your baby's crying, they can be calming for you. Recorded music may help, too.
Turn up background noise.
Some babies cry less when they hear steady background noise. When holding or rocking your baby, try making a continuous "shssss" sound. Turn on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan, or play a tape or CD of environmental sounds, such as ocean waves, a waterfall, gentle rain or a human heartbeat. Sometimes the tick of a clock or metronome does the trick.
Foamy stool is nothing serious.
It happens when baby sucks too much air when feeding.
You should also ensure that you avoid the baby crying too much and swallowing lot of air in the process.
It is a normal phenomenon.
Exclusively breastfeed babies can poop up to 12times a day.
As long as the poop is normal, egusi like, not watery that it sinks completely into the diaper, you don't have to worry.
