My daughter is 42 days old. She sleeps all day and wakes up all night and cries. I am giving her medication for her tummy and it's not working. What can I do?

For starters you need to control her sleeping habits by keeping her awake during the day (play with her, keep the lights on,...) so that she sleeps at night; at night keep lights off and don't play with her if she wakes up . If she gets colics, you could use fennel tea, probiotics, and simethicone. Colics are difficult to manage and are a source of distress to parents, but they gradually abate as she grows.
