A child who is less than 6 months of age should give be given only breastfeeding and nothing else.
Any other medicines is not indicated unless and until prescribed by your doctor.
The main problem in this age with the children is lack of burping. After few feeding if the child is not work properly The gas which is ingested along with breastfeeding doesn't come out leads to air pockets in the intestine letter leads to colicky pain in the children.
Burp the child at least for 15 to 20 minutes otherwise you can just hold the baby in upright position for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
Is colicaid like medicines are used again and again it might lead to constipation and other side effects.
The gas problem in children usually subsides after 4 to 5 months of age till that time burping is very necessary.
