My 5 year old boy child always stretching hands and legs in day and night while watching TV and when he is not playing . He stiffens his body while stretching and moving legs. He is doing this while sitting and sleeping. Is this normal.? and He has constipation problem 1 year back. Now he is normal in bowel movement.

A. Colic in babies is a very common issue and it's matter of concern for parents as the baby is extremely irritable and inconsolable by most of the means. Exclusive breastfeeding with a proper bupring andgj keeping the baby in an upright position will be helpful. Antiflatulence medicine like semithicone , probiotics and enzyme preparations may be helpful. Maternal lifestyle and dietary habbits are also contributory and important.
