converting adult dose for infants

i'm excited to have found homeopathy is helping my infant's gas issues. i was using a colic formula, but thought it was easier to buy the homeopathics from boiron in the blue bottles.

on the back it gives the adult/child dosage, but my babe is 3 1/2 months old. for example,
cupum metallicum 6c, says 'dissolve 5 pellets in mouth 3 times a day'. how much should i give my infant?

thanks for your help!

What is one dose for an infant?
*If the medicine is in liquid dilution form
Please add 1 drop of the liquid dilution to some 100 ml water. You may stir water while giving the dose. Please give 1 tsp water as one dose. Please throw away the remaining water after giving three doses.
*If the medicine is in pill form
Please add some 2 pills to some 100 ml water. Please wait for some time until pills are dissolved. You may stir water while giving the dose. Please give 1 tsp water as one dose. Please throw away the remaining water after giving three doses.
