No medicine is required. Just ensure breastfeeding at regular gaps of atleast 2 to 2-1/2 hours and burp the baby for 10 mins after every feed. Babies have colic for first 3-4 months of life,specially at evening and night time,all you have to do at that time is burping for 10 mins. Do NOT feed the baby at that time,UNLESS 2 hours have passed since the last feed.
