If the medicine that was suggested is Mylacon, it's a very common, very mild
medicine used even with tiny little babies.  It's just a drop or two that
you put in his mouth, and believe me, it was a lifesaver when my daughter
was an infant.  She was in a brace for her first few months because she was
born with a dislocated hip, and the way the brace positioned her made for
horrible gas.  Mylacon never had any bad side effects for her, and I would
recommend it for anybody, but if you like, ask your doctor about it.  The
other thing recommended was pepermint oil, and I bought some but never used
it because it smelled and tasted so strong, I was a bit afraid to give it to
my baby.  Still, it might be an option for you.

it out.
