A. Dear parent, gripe water is not required to be given to your baby. It is unnecessary and dangerous. They can cause infection to your baby. Some of them also contain alcohol and opium like substances. Exclusively breastfeed your child till 6 months complete.

A. My 2 months old baby don’t poop for 6-7 days, her tummy is not tight, she is on mixed feed (one time formula milk only nan pro 1) rest all time breastfeed. Having smelly fart after 4/5 days and slight uncomfortable in the night as gas get trapped. Currently giving bonnison 12 drops daily and espumisan SOS. Is this not pooping for 6-7 days normal?

A. Hello ma’am go for Himalaya Bonnie spaz 0.5 ML or five drops 3 to 4 times in a day maximum as and when needed. Also I would like to tell you that gripe water is never recommended to be given so go for the medicine which I suggested you for colic pain or gas issues and you can give it as and when needed it is there is no specific time to give it either before or feed or after
