A. Hi parent, do not give any medicine to baby without having a consultation with your baby's pediatrician. Also breastmilk or formula are main sources of nutrition for babies till age 1 year. For gas problem make sure you burp baby after every feed. Walk around with baby's head on your shoulder and supporting her neck gently bounce. It is fine for breastfed babies to not poop for upto 5 days . Give tummy time daily for a few minutes multiple times. Gently massage your baby's tummy with castor oil with fingers and keep a warm water towel for few minutes. Cycle baby's legs with your hands gently after every feed. Also keep baby upright in standing position holding with your hands for support few minutes after feed. This helps the poop to travel down with gravity.  If you have tried everything and baby is still crying uncontrollably for a long time, then you can give gripe water or bonnisan or colicaid drops occasionally and after confirmation from your baby's pediatrician and not daily.
