Pediatrician,  's  Response
Babies often ingest air along with their food and hence suffer from abdominal distension which causes discomfort and hence the crying. Infacol (Simeticone) helps in reducing such pain and discomfort and may be given. You need not try all the others together. Bonnisan or bonnispaz are supposed to perform the same action. Let me mention that be it natural or synthetic, through any sort of medicine you are delivering some active principle which will bring about certain changes in our body. If the changes are for good, we call it benefit and if the chages are for bad, we call it side effects. So the safety profile of these natural syrups (as you call it) are no more or less than infacol. Any of these can be safely given.

The non pharmacological intervention that I would suggest for your baby is to hold the baby upright for around 20 mins after each feed. I hope that this will provide some relief to your baby.
