Hello,

Thanks for your query on HCM

"As"per clinical history is concerned do not add any medications to infant formula but you can give gripe water and follow few preventive steps like this-

1)Hold your baby as upright as possible during feedings. Pause often during feedings to burp your baby. Sometimes smaller, more-frequent feedings are helpful. If you're breast-feeding, it may help to allow your baby to feed at one breast until it's nearly empty before switching sides. Try to cuddle baby in your arm after every feeding for 10 mins.

2)If you breast-feed then try to eliminate foods most likely to cause allergy such as dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy and fish from your diets.

3)Do not change infant formula and follow all instructions written.

4)There are a variety of bottles and nipples from which to choose. Trying a different type of bottle or nipple could help ease some of your baby's symptoms. Bottles that have disposable, collapsible bags may lessen the amount of air your baby swallows.

Hope that helps
