A member asked:
My 5 week old cries way to much, which i think is colic. any advice? the pediatrician said mylicon but does it work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colic: this is a complicated question to answer without any additional information. I would want to know how well the baby is gaining weight, how the bowel movements are, whether the baby is formula or breast fed, how much crying the baby is actually doing. If breast feeding, there are many dietary changes for mom yo try. If formula fed there are multiple different formula options that can be tried.
