Hi, I have a 1 month 15 days old baby. He is fussy and crying all the time even after feeding, diaper change. He's gassy as well. As prescribed by pediatrician I am giving him colicaid whenever he's too gassy, still it's not helping. He still cries all the time and is gassy too. Please suggest.

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. Do not keep the child back on the bed after one burping (all gas is not removed with one burping) during the 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 usually the colic pain goes away by 3 or maximum 4 months of age

A. Hi mom Inadequate burping is the reason for gas in stomach. Burp ur baby well after every feed in upright position to avoid gas issues. Give tummy time to help baby expel gas from stomach. Also apply hing paste on stomach and massage in circular motion twice a day to help baby Pass out gas
