Thank you for posting your question.
Spasms or abdominal colic is a very common and near normal occurance in newborns. It occurs due to the air that is ingested along with the milk. Hypospasmal syrup that you have mentioned is never routinely prescribed in children, let alone newborns.
Colic is a very benign condition and usually decreases as the child grows. Measures that could be used include strict burping after every feed and anticolic drugs containing simethicone. Hypospasmal is not indicated.
Also, in breasted babies, passing stools upto 20 times a day is considered normal hence nothing needs to be done for the same.
If you have any more doubts, do write back.
