Infants under 6 months: 5 to 10 drops per dose (approximately 0.25 ml to 0.5 ml).Frequency: Usually given up to 4 times a day as needed, rather than just twice a day, to effectively prevent gas buildup before feedings.

Colic aid drops 0.5 ml 2-3 times daily as necessary. Is the baby having excessive crying for more than 30 minutes? Is it crying more in the evenings? Is the crying not stopping on consoling? Most of the babies outgrow the problem in course of time. Try to avoid hot and spicy foods if you are breast feeding. Look for any other causes for crying like wet diapers, hot or cold climate, hunger, lack of sleep, insect bites, foreign body in the eyes etc.
Next Steps
Carrying the baby, burping regularly, proper hygiene and ventilation can help. Putting the baby briefly on the stomach and patting can help relieve the gas. Mind you Always safe to keep on the back during sleep.

Do regular massage to release gases.Do tummy time (take consultation if no idea of it ). Colicaid use as last option (0.5 ml at this age of baby) but do not give daily beyond 3 days and not more than 3 dose in a day.Mostly after 4th or by 5th month gas issues will be reduced drastically than current.and once baby start on Weaning Diet it will be very less problematic

Colicaid drops can usually be given 0.5 mL after feeds, 2–3 times a day if needed. Burp baby well after every feed, avoid overfeeding, and keep baby upright for 15–20 minutes after feeds.
Health Tips
If baby has persistent crying, vomiting, abdominal distension, fever, poor feeding, or blood in stool, kindly consult your pediatrician physically.
