What Causes Cranky Behavior In A One Month Old Baby?
My niece is one month old and her doctor has prescribed colimex 5 drops 3 times a day. She is normal in the day but by evening 5 she gets very cranky and keeps on crying for 2 hrs and sometimes even 5 hrs. At times she even refuses to feed while crying. Should colimex be given to such a small baby ??

Occasionally the child ingests air along with feed. This air can distend the stomach giving rise to discomfort and the child may cry or become cranky. Proper burping and giving Colimex drops can provide relief. Colimex helps in expelling the excess gas and is safe to be given to a baby of this age and you need not worry about it.
If the child is active and fine, you need not worry but if the child grows lethargic, you would have to seek medical assistance without delay.
