A. when u invert bottle..it fills fully Babies are noticed to go through excessive crying. They cry intensely with high pitched sound. The baby’s face usually flushes and it seems to be extremely difficult to comfort them is a case of infantile colic, parents. Other symptoms of the babies with colic is babies curl up their legs, or clench their fists or even have stiff abdominal muscles during the episode of colic. Do tummy time, do leg pedaling exercise, massage the tummy in gentle circular motion. You can apply home remedies like local application of hing mixed in a spoon of lukewarm water around naval. Application of ghee mixed in saindhav salt also provides relief. Give gastric drops, or colicaid on SOS basis. Burping post every feeding session is important to release out the gases sucked while feeding. If bottle fed baby, use of anti-colic nipples to be kept in mind. Can give ajwain boiled water to drink for above 6m babies.

A. thank you Doc. The reason I am asking you about a partially full and completely full nipple is because my MIL purposely keeps the nipple partially filled with milk while feeding the baby through the bottle. i really needed expert advice. thank you for confirming that it should be completely filled with milk when we invert the bottle.
