Can Cow's Milk Cause Gas And Can We Give Colic Aid For The It ?
We give cow s milk to our baby in the morning and if the same milk is remained we give it again in the evening. Can this cause gas? If yes what could be the remedy. My neighbor told me to put ginger powder while boiling the milk the second time, will this help. How do we know whether the baby is suffering from gas, what could be the symptoms. My baby had her dinner and drank milk, she was normal, then she suddenly started crying for over 30 minutes. Not sure what could be the problem. Can colic aid be given? Appreciate your advise. Thanks & Regards, Rakesh

you have not mentioned the age of your baby
cow milk can be given to babies but it can not substitute breast milk if the baby is in breast feed age
your baby has exceed that age it seems .flatulence can occur with milk or any food when there is indigestion
distension of abdomen and pain abdomen ,vomiting may be features of gas formation
colic aids can be given but not repeatedly
