Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Firstly let me know whether she is breastfed or on formula feeds.
At this age most of the babies have colicky pain usually starts in the evening and continues beyond midnight.
Colimex-DF drops 3-4 times daily will give relief from crying.
If she is formula fed proper amount of feed correct amount of water to be added to milk powder, and number of feeds,quantity must ascertained from your doctor.
Why lactulose and other medicines given to the baby is not mentioned.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
