Calmax syrup for preterm baby

2024-04-10 02:27:35
I have a doubt regarding the dosage of calmax syrup that should be given to my baby who is 2 months old and weighs 4 kg, he was born at a preterm at 36 weeks and was around 1.78 kg. Till when do I need to give calmax syrup and what is the dosage for the same. Kindly suggest if there are any other alternative drops for the same, as he is not liking the syrup.
