Hi,
Actually breast milk would solve the problem gradually. Babies on top feed mostly suffer from this problem. If the baby is comfortable without motion for a week and the following motion is smooth, and normal. There is no need to worry. As the feeding dose increases, it would be set right. You can try syrup of fig 5-10 drops with warm water for babies below 3 months in prescribed dose.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
