Question : Hi. I have a 6month baby boy who tightens his hands and jaws and makes a grunting sound. Is everything okey? He appears normal otherwise. Also which is the best baby lotion for babies?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Your baby probably has colic pain. It is self limiting. Meantime you can give COLICAID drops 6 drops thrice daily. It is over the counter. If not settling please visit your child specialist, he needs to examine and investigate further.
all well known baby lotions are good. You can use popular brands like XXXXXXX & XXXXXXX on safe side.

XXXXXXX
