Colicaid drops, 5 drops Only if child is crying for more than 30 minutes. After every feed, keep the child upright (ie burping) for 30 minutes so that burp comes and the child is relieved. A newborn can pass motion 10-12 times a day also that is after every feed. That is normal. Child may pass gas during motion and without it also and that is okay too. I think here the child seems to be hungry. Child is not getting enough feeds. Encourage breastfeeding, continue your efforts. Do a weight check up once a week and weight gain should be 150 to 200 gms/week. Also, child should pass urine 6 to 8 times in a day. If it is not happening then take help.

Please make sure breast feeding is going well followed by burping, can can Goto useful web links to see how to burp baby, else trapped wind can cause colic. Gripe water is best avoided, anti colic natural roll on can be used with clockwise abdominal massage. If that does not provide full relief, Colic aid can be tried. Failing which a face to face consultation would be recommended. Wishing you all the best.
