Gastric problem
My baby is 2 months old and is facing a lot of gas problem.. we went to doctor and he suggested neopeptine drops for the baby 3 times in a day? And colimex drops if problem increases too much...We are not giving any formula milk yet because we started Nan pro 1 for 2-3 days with doctor's suggestion but as the gastric problem increased so we stopped it. What should we do as now no formula feed is given but he is still facing gas problem everyday day or the other. Please suggest what to do? Is he a colic baby?

When babies are born the strength of the muscle which holds the food contents in stomach is not yet fully developed so whatever feeds the the New Babies take they tend to spit some of it out and also develop gas is stomach which makes them irritable and causes colic.. As the baby grows the strength of the muscle improves and starting 6months of age this problem start's disappearing.. If the vomiting is large and hampering babies growth u might need some medications..
Wont recommend neopeptine ..
Colimax to be given only SOS.
