Will he stop crying. He also passes lot of gas. Iam not giving him anything except my milk. Iam seeing that even i donot take any thing which will cause indigestion
Hi.
This is a common problem faced by many infants.
First,let me set the record straight.
FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS EVERY NEWBORN MUST GET EXCLUSIVE BREAST FEEDING
Gripe water is not helpful or even needed for any child. in fact it is harmful as the gut of a newborn cannot handle anything other than breast milk.
Your child does not need any medications.
continue exclusive breast feeding. the cry shall go away soon.
"papa edichindi, woodwards gripe water pattamani valla ammato cheppu,chinnappudu neeku ade patedanni" this was a famous advertisement in local language in our state. This means whenever a baby cries she should be fed with gripe water and I used to feed you when you were young. Shows that gripe water traditional and older medicine for crying of baby. After viewing this ad gripe water has become a household medicine for all babies. I still do not understand if it correct or not
