Yes, as long as they do not have any alcohol in them
Yes, gas drops are safe for newborns.
Hi
Although the drops are safe, sometimes can cause diarrhea, but usually tolerated well. I think it may be better to give probiotic drops, it usually helps and is totally safe.

Gas drops (simethicone) are safe in limited use, as directed.
Hello,
The simple answer is yes, however, your 2-month-old is no longer considered a newborn, but now falls into the infant category. Congratulations. By now, your baby should have had his or her first doctor visit between 3-5 days of age, then at one month and two months of age. The next well visit would typically be at 4 months of age. If your infant is suffering from “gas,”
these well visits would be an excellent time to discuss this problem as well as nutrition, development, safety, sleep and many other common questions of infancy.
