A. from your history it appears that your child is having colic pain due to gas in abdomen in colic pain you can give anti colic medicines like colicaid 0.5 ml to the child and this medicine can be given maximum three or four times per day but to prevent this problem kindly do regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes.d do not kee ep the child back on the bed after one burping (all gas is not removed with one burping) during dthe colic episode you can do stomach massage and limb cycling movements and if the child is more than 2 months of age you can give tummy time also. advisable to learn more about it from your doctor.

A. The child may have colic pain. Try to keep the baby close to u and rest her on your chest and walk around comforting her tummy. Lay down the baby on her back and pedal her legs if in case there was any gas it will be released. Dim the lights, lessen the outside noise and be close to her, comforting her. The real cause of colic pain is unknown and differs with each baby . It will get away on its own as the baby grows. Usually colic pain comes around evenings or nights or at the same part of the day and for three to four days every week. You can understand that it is colic pain with the timing and the baby will be restless crying for long hours.. Few things you can do to prevent colic pain not altogether though. Feed the baby in an upright position do she doesn't swallow many air bubbles. burp her every time after feeds. Give small and frequent feeds. If things seem to be very uncontrollable consult with ur doctor. He may prescribe medicine to soothe the colic pain..
