POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Switching from one type of colic drops to another is common when trying to find what works best for your baby. Colic relief drops often contain ingredients like simethicone, fennel, or dill, which can help relieve gas and colic symptoms, but their effectiveness can vary from baby to baby.
### Steps to Consider:
1. **Dosage:** Ensure you are giving the correct dosage as recommended for your baby's age and weight. Overuse or incorrect dosing might not provide the desired results.
2. **Consistency:** Sometimes, it may take a few days of consistent use to see improvement. Monitor your baby’s symptoms over several days after the switch.
3. **Burping and Positioning:** Continue to burp your baby after every feeding and try holding your baby upright for about 20-30 minutes after feeding to help reduce gas.
4. **Feeding Adjustments:** If you’re breastfeeding, consider your diet as some foods (like dairy or caffeine) might contribute to colic. If formula-feeding, you might want to consult your pediatrician about trying a different formula.
5. **Comfort Techniques:** In addition to using colic drops, try comfort measures like gentle tummy massage, warm baths, or using white noise to soothe your baby.
### When to Consult a Pediatrician:
- If your baby shows no improvement after a few days of using the new colic drops.
- If symptoms worsen or you notice any signs of distress, such as excessive crying, vomiting, or changes in bowel movements.
- If you’re unsure about the safety or effectiveness of the colic drops.
Your pediatrician can provide guidance on the best course of action, whether it’s continuing with the current treatment, trying a different remedy, or exploring other underlying causes of the discomfort.
