A. you feed more.See when baby has any new complain then better avoid any self medication. Show to a doctor for right and timely diagnosis and treatment. Thays a safe procedure.You can always try to add health and tasty substitute like whole grain cookies, cakes and. Home made papad etc.patience is very important too.To increase weight you must add high energy foods like eggs paneer , soya , ghee in rice , khichdi etc.this will boost him ok.

A. Hello Complete no-no it should never be given to the child is the most common side-effect of it it’s not a healthy thing to be given to the child at any age so I’m not going to advise you to give gripe water to the child at any age or at any point of time
