Colic baby
My 2 month old baby is crying suddenly and frequently for every one hour. Sometimes she is normal and suddenly crying and sucking hands like she is hungry. Doctor told baby is colic. So given colicaid drops for 3 times a day for 4 days but still not recovered. Also I'm noticing mild loose stools whenever she passes gas and it's smelling. Is something wrong? When baby will be recovered? Also can I feed each time when baby is sucking hands in interval of 1 hr? Please help

If baby is not having fever , if weight gain is adequate, passing urine at least 5 times a day nothing to worry. Even though demand feed concept exists , every two hourly feed is enough. Consider feeding is health indicator of baby. If baby feeds well no need of any intervention.
Next Steps
if baby is dull, has refusal of feed, abdominal distention please consult pediatrician
Health Tips
please follow exclusive breast feeding
