Accepted Answer

Avoid giving gripe water to your baby as some brands of gripe water contain alcohol, sodium bicarbonate and dairy products which are not good for a baby. Instead try a gentle tummy massage to help get rid of abdominal tension and gas. Applying light pressure on baby's tummy by rubbing his belly might also help to soothe him. Burp the baby during and after each feed.
