Should I Continue Colicaid To Infant Even After Recovering As She Is Taking Feed Properly?

Hi my 3 months old daughter suffered from colic pain. So I gave colicaid drops twice a day. Regularly or 10 days. And she recovered so I stop giving colicaid. Then after 3 days she din take feed properly. Before giving colicaid she din take feed properly. Am breastfeeding her. And not giving any other supplement. But her din increase even 1 kg from birth. She was 3.5 when she born. So shall I continue with Colicaid even she is not having pain??

Hi...whatever pain you are describing is not going to get better with Colicaid. This is called evening colic and is quite common in this age group. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast very fast and in eagerness to drink milk will gulp in air too. Unless the air comes out like burping or flatus this discomfort will be there and next time check if she is sucking too fast and gulping in air too. You will be more convinced. Usually I don't advice any medicines for this as they give only temporary relief. This will usually get better by itself.

I suggest you stop giving colicaid.
