Gas problem to new born baby
My son is 5 weeks old. He pass gases more than 20 times per day and sometimes feels uneasy and starts crying. Is this normal to pass gas more than 20 times?
I do cycling and tummy time as well. Doctor give Neopeptine drop 0.5ml two times per day but I googled it and mostly found that this drop is given 0.5ml per day. Is it good to give 0.5ml two times per day ?
Please suggest
