Q.
My son is 1.5 months old… I feed him formula milk as my milk supply is low.. so it’s like 80% formula + 20% breast milk.. & this is every feed…I feed him every 2hrs… but because of this he stays very gassy… I have to give him collicade drops daily 3 times then only he is like playing & sleeping well.. otherwise he stays cranky because of gases… so is it ok to give collicade drops daily?

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. the recurrent stretching / curving of the body again and again as well as uncomfort / making grunting sounds as well as hiccups as well as colic pain all are due to gas in the intestine and stomach.
it is very important that after giving milk to the child you
should keep the child in upright position and do burping for 15 to 20 minutes(irrespective that you hear the burps or not). gas in stomach causes hiccups.
do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because one time burping will not remove all the gas and if the gas is not removed properly it goes into intestine causing abnordmal distension and that will lead to colic pain again and again.
keep the child in upright position whether you hear the burping sound or not and also it is not important that you will hear the sound when the child removes the air from the oral cavity.

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Yes you can give it daily to your child and you can give it three times in the day there is no problem with that it’s a safe medicine and since your child is 80% or formula I would recommend you to add some fennel seeds into water that you boil for making formula that is going to help you reducing down stomach pain gas and constipation altogether
