Babies may experience watering from their eyes due to a narrow nasolacrimal duct, which causes blockage and lacrimation, due to which they rub. This can be reduced by regular ocular massage. Older infants rub their eyes, ears, and also pull their hair, as they keep playing and exploring their body parts.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Unpasteurized milk is not advisable to be given, as pasteurization is required to kill all the bacteria or germs in the milk. I think the baby does have some issues with cow milk and is crying due to colic (abdominal pain).

Also, it is supplemented with all the vitamins, iron, calcium and other minerals required for growth.
