It was me that suggested it! I am from Germany and there it is totally normal to give your baby fennel tea also chamomile etc.

I have hunted high and low and couldn't find tea here so had to buy fennel seeds at the helth food shop and brew my own tea. I used a 2/3 teaspoons for a litre of hot water and let it seep like tea. Just remove the seeds when you feel it is strong enough - you won't hurt baby with it strong but he might just not like it vey much if it's too strong - I know some mums who add honey to sweeten it - I never did and Joey drinks it without happily.

I just used to fill a bottle with it like I would if it was water and let him drink what he wanted. You could try feding it on a teaspoon to get it in if Blake really doesn't want it.


Another gas remedy is caraway seeds boiled up but this only give a few teaspoons and it tastes pretty yuk! but it does work!!]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2007 08:55:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7034&PID=136467&title=fennel-tea-for-babies#136467 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7034&PID=136426&title=fennel-tea-for-babies#136426 Author: AlyAyde

yep you can take fennel tea but if you dont like the taste you can get the tablets. I would go to a good health shop because they might be able to give you other stuff too!

I know you can drink this stuff as a breatfeeding Mum but I really really hate the smell and taste of Aniseed. I think I remember someone saying to give it to Blake for his gas?

Where do you get it and how much would I give him do you think?

For two days I have really restricted mine and his diet and he has been worse than ever!

Arrrrggggghhh!]]> Thu, 26 Apr 2007 20:05:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7034&PID=136352&title=fennel-tea-for-babies#136352
