As doctor advised not to use gripe water . I used Dabur Janam Guthi for my daughter once she was 4 months old .. You can try if you want .

Sowmiya do you burp the baby after each feed ? Do not make the baby lie down immediately after feed . Put him over your shoulder for sometime so that he burps and the gas formed passes out . You can also google on different ways to make your baby burp . I hope it helps .

gripe water and dabur janam ghutti worked for my son. one spoon thrice a day is ok. little bit of milk spitting is ok and nothing to concern about. my baby did so till he turned 5 n half. and yes its important to make baby burp as Manmeet said. if putting on shoulder doesn't help, try to make him sit :)
