Accepted Answer

Give her proper amount of tummy time throughout the day.Burp her every 10-15 min during breastfeeding and burp her after every nursing session.If she doesn't burp,take her with you and walk for sometime.If you are bottle feeding make sure it's a little bit diluted.You can also give neopeptine drops but do take advise of your paediatrician before giving this. colic will be at the highest in the evening hours so make sure you burp here throughout the day so that nights are less stressful for her as well as for you.Keeping suppositories for passing motion is not a concern unless you burp her regularly.You can also try giving her  a small amount of luke warm water early in the morning to make her pass motion.
