Suggest Treatment For Gas Problem
Question: my 2.5 months old baby is collic and always has gas problem. he takes formula and breast milk. we give hi neopeptine. but still sometimes he cries because of gas kindly suggest something. i read about infacol on net
Brief Answer:
This is medically called evening colic - common
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
This is called evening colic and is quite common in this age group. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast very fast and in eagerness to drink milk will gulp in air too. Unless the air comes out like burping or flatus this discomfort will be there and next time check if she is sucking too fast and gulping in air too. You will be more convinced. Usually I don't advice any medicines for this as they give only temporary relief. You can try the routine burping technique and see if she feels better.
BY THE WAY - HOPE YOUR KID AND YOU HAD A PEACEFUL FLIGHT JOURNEY.
