Hello
Yes, can be given to a child above 1 year — only if prescribed by a doctor and used short-term.
Aristozyme is a digestive enzyme supplement that may help with: Gas, Bloating, Mild indigestion
However, it is not a routine supplement and should not be used unnecessarily or long-term.
Can be used short term (5–7 days) in children >1 year if digestion is poor and advised by a pediatrician.
Usual dose: 2.5–5 ml once or twice daily after food, but dosing may vary.
Common causes of gas in toddlers:
New or heavy foods (like whole milk, legumes)
Overfeeding or fast feeding
Incomplete digestion during illness or teething
Minor gut immaturity (still developing at this age)
Next Steps
Offer small, frequent meals — avoid spicy, oily, or gas-forming foods (e.g., cauliflower, too much milk).
Ensure child is active and burped well after meals.
Use simethicone drops (under guidance) for gas relief if needed.
Health Tips
If the child has vomiting, fever, persistent diarrhea, or poor weight gain avoid the syrup

No need. If your baby is growing well and playful, no New’s to give anything.
Stop bottle feeding if any.
Focus on home based foods with special emphasis on fruits and vegetables.
