Crying baby
Two question
1. How do I understand baby is crying due to colic (and hence colic drop is to be given) Or due to bore Or due to hungry?
2. Can I give colic drop any time even if baby not crying? Or colic drop should be given only when baby is crying.
Hello. If your baby is crying, first try to console her by feeding and talking to her. If even after feeding, baby keeps on crying,pulls her legs , not consolable cry..more in the evening onwards...then that could be related to colic . In this scenario, u can give colicaid drops.
No, Colicaid drops is not needed if your baby is comfortable and not crying. Any medicine is not advised routinely for babies, unless indicated .
