Hello. No need to give colicaid daily . Do proper burping atleast for 8-10 min after breastfeeding to avoid gassy tummy. Colicaid you can give as and when needed , not routinely.
Breastmilk is the best milk and try to continue till 6 months of age. The more the baby sucks, the better your milk flow will be.

Colicaid is oftenly prescribed for infantile colic, a condition which is physiological and usually subsides by 4 months of age. Colicaid drops give temporary relief to the baby (rather to mother) from unconsolable cry of the baby. Occasionally it can be given but not recommended for routine use.
