Colic problem

Asked for Female, 6 years

My 20days old baby has got the colic problem for the last 5days. Since birth, being exclusively on BF, she wasn't taking burp, spitting milk as it is after every feed. Now she has started taking burp, spits little milk but with mucus. The issue now is that she doesn't sleep fast. Whether sleeping during day or night, she makes noise as if she is not comfortable or restless and whenever I tap her or take her in lap, or put her to sleep on her side, she seems a bit comforted. Her colic problem is severe.

Dear Patient,

You must make your child lie down on the tummy often esp before feed. Make sure to give her ample tummy time daily. Colic lasts between 3mths to 6mths. During that time some tummy exercises and infacol drops can help you alot. Sometimes trial n error of medicines may be needed.

Its best to consult with a child specialist at least once.
Give 1/4th dropper of infacol 30mins before feed 2-3 times a day.
