Yes that's possible as they have to get used to the new environment and the feed. With few days it will be fine. Feed breast milk only!

Babies will strain to pass urine and motion. It's normal for all babies. Some babies will cry during passage of urine and motion. This is also normal. No need to worry. No need for any treatment. Gas / wind is common in newborn babies. You can clear the gas by BURPING the baby. During feeding babies will swallow some amount of gas .so it will fill the stomach and cause some discomfort. Immediately after the feeding put the baby in your shoulders and pat over the back of the baby. The swallowed air will come done. You can do it for few minutes before putting the baby in the cradle. Evening colic: some times baby may cry for long duration say more than 30 min. This is called as infantile colic /evening colic. You can give medications to relieve the symptoms.

Yes its very common in infants. If you are breastfeeding then its important to make sure you are not eating anything that is heavy to digest at this time for your baby like rajma, chickpeas, fried and spicy food. Other than that always make sure your baby burps after his feed. When he has gas you will have to hold and soothe him by holding him in upright posture and tapping his back to let the gas pass naturally.
