My son is facing digestive problem from last couple of days and is farting a lot. We use gripe water but still its not that effective. Any alternate method would be appreciated. Thanks in adavance

Give breastfeeds at regular gaps of atleast 3 hours,avoid top milk,but if forced to,use only formula,not open milk,and use a katori and spoon to give feeds,not a bottle. Burp the baby after every feed for 10 mins. Contrary to common belief,babies do NOT produce so called gas,but swallow air,both during feeds and while crying. Gripe water has NO role,just proper gap between feedings and burping is needed. NEVER feed the baby while he's asleep or on every cry,UNLESS 2-1/2 to 3 hours have passed since last feed.
