It seems my baby is having some stomach cramps. He had this yesterday and we have given 6 drops of decolic infant yesterday night. Today the whole day he was fine, but it seems he is having the same problem even today also since 2 hours back. Will it be safe to give decolic infant today also?? As it would be for back to back days. He is 26 days old
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. 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 Chat Doctor.  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. The two best ways to relieve this distress is - 1. Do not put him in lying position after feeding till he burps out the swallowed air.2. If he is still crying - put her in prone position and keep patting his back gently so that he passes off the flatus and gets relieved. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
