Is it safe to give mylicon drops to a 2 year old toddler everyday? 0.3ml dose, twice a day? my son's tummy is usually bloated without it.

Yes: It's safe to use Simethicone on a daily basis. It is not absorbed systemically, just stays in the GI tract and breaks up gas bubbles. Look also into why he's so bloated - is there a food sensitivity, eating too fast, drinking soda? All of these and many more can be causes, so keep an eye open and/or talk to your pediatrician.
