Q.

#asktheexpert my baby girl is 7 weeks old. All her actions are fine. But she is passing out gas quite frequently and whenever she does so she cries a lot. our Doctor has prescribed colic aid drops s.o.s. We are giving her colic aid. What else can be done, kindly suggest. When can this gas passing be expected to normalise??

A. the recurrent stretching / curving of the body again and again as well as uncomfort / making grunting sounds as well as hiccups as well as colic pain all are due to gas in the intestine and stomach. it is very important that after giving milk to the child you should keep the child in upright position and do burping for 15 to 20 minutes(irrespective that you hear the burps or not). gas in stomach causes hiccups. do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because one time burping will not remove all the gas and if the gas is not remdoved properly it goes into intestine causing abnormal distension and that will lead to colic pain again and again. keep the child in upright position whether you hear the burping sound or not and also it is not important that you will hear the sound when the child removes the air from the oral cavity.
