Brief Answer:
No, it is not safe for infants

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

I can understand your concern.Discomfort and crying due to colic is very common in this age.
Castor oil provides relief from colic is a myth and it should not be encouraged.
In most of the case grannies insist for giving castor oil,gripe water or other things which are not medically indicated.Castor oil when given orally can act as an irritant and may cause loose motion. In older children or in adults it is used in constipation. They used to give it in older days. Now time has changed.
You just blame it to the doctor and tell them that doctor has advised not to give castor oil.
Castor oil is used as a massaging oil over the abdomen of infants but there is not a single research study favouring this.
You can give coaid or colicaid to get relief from colic.

I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more query.
Thanks and regards

The lactating mother should take plenty of fluids with extra calories and protein to meet the nutritional demand of the baby.
The breast fed baby may show symptoms of gas and abdominal discomfort depending on the mother's diet.
Mother should avoid spices,gas forming veggies (cabbage,broccoli,onion,garlic),beans,chocolates,citrus foods(orange,lemons),coffee and carbonated drinks.Burp the baby properly.Gentle exercise like pressing the thighs over the abdomen in lying down position helps in releasing the gas.
