A. Gas related problem is very common in small babies because of many factor including immaturity of the gut . other factors include cow's milk introduction before 1 year of age , bottle feeding, not giving proper burping after each feedff. Digestive enzymes like aglozyme drops can be given as suggested by doctor in proper dose for reliving of such symptoms .

A. hi dear Stroke the middle of your baby's lower lip with your index finger to encourage him/her to widely open his/her mouth. When your baby opens his/her mouth, place your finger, nail side down, into the front of your baby's mouth. Your baby will suck your finger into his/her mouth.
