My 50 days old son cries a lot every evening.I can see the sleep in his eyes but he doesnot sleep.I have to eventually give him colicaid syrup which contains dill and fennel oil and then he sleeps.I am worried about his behaviour & giving him this syrup everyday.Please help.I feed him properly and his weight gain also seems ok until now.The only problem is his sleep and only in late evening. Disha replied. Hey shweta and all ,

It was nice to read everyone's input to this. I was facing the same problem for a week now and thought it was gas problem. My baby sleeps fine till 6:00 and ater that when he wakes up..he looks playful and happy so we all keep him in the living room and he plays but soon he loses interest and starts crying bitterly. He wont drink bottlemilk or take breast feed..he would suck a bit and then push it away and again cry a lot . He looks very sleepy but cant seem to get his sleep .Somedays this goes on till 12 midnight. I have started giving him gripe water as well I put him to sleep as soon as he behaves like this.
I hope this colic behavior will end soon.. perks replied. yes u can feed in sleeping position in night. Actually I find that this is better cz mom & baby both get exhausted in the night doing all the baby thing during the day. So feed lying down while you rest and baby relaxes.
You can try burping when he wakes up, or hold upright and pat the back, if u feel he is uncomfortable.

You can give Woodwords gripe water available in India.

Perks Hema replied. I went to an Ayurvedic doctor who prescribed my son \";BIO SAL \"; syrup -8-10 drops 2-3 times a day....you can also try that! perks replied. Seems Your baby becomes tired in evening smitulated by the daily routine.
Give him a message betn 4-5 clock.
Then feed him. Burp him.
Dress & Go out for a small walk or sit in balcony . If weather no good roam in your home and show baby different rooms.
By 8 PM take him bed, switch off all lights. No noise ,talk softly ,feed him as much & as many times he wants , do not turn on light at all.... He will become very peaceful and feel sleepy. Tuck a blanket and leave the room.
Make it a daily routine and he will develop a sleep pattern and wont feel tired.

Whenevr you see sleepy eyes ...just rock him he will sleep.
When you see him sleepy but not sleeping and crying means he is overtired and need immediate rest.
If u feel he is tired message him and breastfeed he will relax.
Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.
Hema replied. Hi Shvetha, I agree with you. Same is the position of my son. He is also 50 days old. Try to give him some ayurvedic syrup instead of colicacid or homeopathic gripewater. He will be ok by the end of 3-4 months.....as it is the most peak period of colic he is passing through.
