Im wondering how often I can give my baby Woodward's gripe water. My baby seems to have a lot of wind, and Im not sure if gripe water is the right thing to use for that. How many times a day would be safe? Also, Ive heard about Colicaid drops, but Im...

Woodward's Gripe Water can be given to your baby up to 3-4 times a day, usually after meals or when your baby is feeling gassy. It helps relieve gas and bloating.

Can I give suji halwa or kheer to my 8-month-old boy if he's been having loose stools for a week? Is suji good for him right now?

For an 8-month-old baby experiencing loose stools, it is important to focus on easily digestible foods. Suji (semolina) can be a good option as it is gentle on the stomach and can help firm up the stools. You can prepare suji halwa with minimal sugar and ghee for your baby. Additionally, you can also give your baby rice-based foods like rice water or rice cereal. Make sure to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding to prevent dehydration. If the loose stools persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
