2 months
My daughter is 2 months and 1 week, helthy and growing well but everynight she starts crying for consecutive hours since 1 month I'm giving her Ovol and anis tea. Can you please suggest any solution?

To soothe infantile colics (which start at around 2 weeks of age and progressively diminish by 3 months of age). you need to make sure of the following:
1- If you are breast feeding, avoid foods that may induce excessive gas production (like cauliflower, broccoli, beans, cabbage), eat a fiber-rich diet to help in digestion, and drink anise
2- If you are bottle feeding your baby, it is important that you are not introducing air bubbles while bottle feeding (by holding the bottle at a 60 degree angle from your baby's mouth)
3- Burping your baby well after each meal, in addition to giving your baby tummy massages (gentle round motion) are helpful.
Anise, fennel tea, Gripe water and Ovol can be used interchangeably - babies tend to respond variably to these interventions.
Rocking your baby or taking her for a car ride can be useful too.
You may also want to try to shift to a "comfort" baby formula.
