Baby gas issue

Asked for Male, 7 years

I want to ask that my baby girl 25 days old has colic or gasses(may be both). What should I do? Are there any drops available that I can give her? Which formula milk is best to prevent colic or gasses in infants?

Dear Patient,

Colic is when the baby’s pain is so severe they keep crying inconsolably for hours. This time is difficult and most babies get better in 3months. What you can do is place the baby on her stomach as much as possible. You’ll have to monitor the child to make sure her nose is turned to the side so she can breathe. Infacol drops are available and you can give 1/4th dropper 20min before a feed. Warm a towel slightly and apply under belly. Apply Vicks underbelly also, heat coconut oil slightly and massage in circles around the belly. Use any formula make sure there's no gas in the nipple.
