Thanks for writing to us.
Colimex is allopathic product with dicyclomine and dimethicone , no sedative.
Colimex df is ayurvedic with fennel oil.
Both are safe and can be given.
You can give 5 drops thrice daily before feeding of either one when baby is crying excessively.
This colic pain might last a few weeks before settling on it's own.
