Is It Just Gas or Something Serious? Decoding Common Newborn Discomforts in Indian Households

Newborn discomfort is a term every Indian parent becomes familiar with—fast. From sleepless nights due to colic to mysterious rashes that spark panic, the first few weeks after birth are filled with both awe and anxiety. Many families brush off early symptoms, thinking, “It’s just gas,” but what if it’s not?
In this blog, we break down common newborn health concerns, signs that need urgent attention, and how you can respond swiftly and effectively—because in newborn care, timing is everything.
1. Colic, Gas or Something More?
Keyword: newborn discomfort
India’s go-to response for any newborn crying episode is: “Usko gas ho gaya hoga.” While gas is common, persistent crying can also signal:
Milk intolerance
Silent reflux
Hernia
Urinary tract infection (UTI)
🩺 When to visit a pediatrician?If your baby cries for more than 3 hours a day, three times a week, for over three weeks, it’s time to consult your child specialist.
2. Fever in Newborns: Never Ignore It
In Indian households, adults often tolerate mild fever. But any fever above 100.4°F (38°C) in a baby under 3 months is an emergency.
🔴 Act fast. Fever in newborns can be a sign of:
Neonatal sepsis
Respiratory infections
Meningitis
3. Skin Troubles: Harmless or a Red Flag?
Most newborns develop rashes, baby acne, or dry skin—all normal. But if you notice:
Blistering or oozing skin
Persistent cradle cap
Yellowish skin tone (possible neonatal jaundice)
White patches in the mouth (oral thrush)
👉 Visit a pediatric dermatologist or consult our in-house team at Anvi.
4. Breathing Irregularities: What’s Normal?
Newborns often have irregular breathing, but any of the following require urgent medical care:
Bluish lips or skin
Flaring nostrils while breathing
Wheezing or grunting
Rapid breathing (over 60 breaths/minute)
🏥 These can signal bronchiolitis, pneumonia, or congenital heart issues—common NICU cases in India.
5. When Feeding Becomes a Struggle
Indian families take pride in feeding, and rightly so. But watch out if your baby:
Refuses to feed frequently
Has difficulty latching or swallowing
Shows signs of dehydration (no wet diapers in 6+ hours)
It could be tied to oral-motor dysfunction or even hidden infections. A quick lactation consult or feeding evaluation helps!
Parental Intuition Is Powerful—Trust It
In Indian culture, we rely a lot on dadi-nani ke nuskhe, but never underestimate your instinct. If you feel something’s not right, it probably isn’t.
