A. Contrary to belief, gripe water does nothing to ease the baby from gases. Therefore, it is better to avoid giving it. To cure gas problem, you can massage baby's stomach in circular motion and move legs in cycling rotation. While nursing or feeding, take care of the right position, do not over feed, let him/her suck slowly without taking in air bubbles and burp after every feed. As the only meal of infants is milk, there is nothing much you can do to increase weight except to feed fully and frequently which can be 8-9 times a day and in every 2-3 hours.
