Thank you for posting your question. Spasms or abdominal colic is a very common and near normal occurrence in newborns. It occurs due to the air that is ingested along with the milk. Hypospasmal syrup that you have mentioned is never routinely prescribed in child Chat Doctor.  Colic is a very benign condition and usually decreases as the child grows. Measures that could be used include strict burping after every feed and anticolic
