Dr. Maria Karam Pediatrics
Usually u dont need to give water. The watrr taken from ur milk or the bottle are enough... as for the colics ovol infancol gripe water are used as well as the fennel tea but to be honest nothing really works. Evebtually colics will go by 3 months. Put ur baby on his tummy and massage him when he gets the attacks. The medication that was founs to be a bit useful is biogaia but again check with your pediatrician before administring any medication. You can also use the anti colic bottle and the comfort milk. They may help a bit
