Do not give any gripe water to your baby. These other medications have long term effects on the stomach and brain. Continue breast or formula feeding, whichever you usually do, every 2 hourly or on demand, along with 400iu of Vitamin D drops everyday. 2 month old babies will eat, sleep, play, cry for feeds or in discomfort an! Hydrate your baby with your milk! You can try colic aid drops to relieve some symptoms. Dosages via prescription only. For any queries, kindly book an online consultation with me.
