A member asked:

How about gripe waters for reflux and gas issues for babies? how about mom drinking tea w/ chamomile, fennel , and ginger? what probiotics to use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly helpful: As someone who practices integrative pediatrics, I do incorporate these remedies for colic/gas in babies. Gripe waters that contain small amounts of fennel and ginger are likely safe as are chamomile and fennel teas (for baby or mom - if baby is under 6m, don't give more than 1 oz 3x per day). Probiotics (bifidus, lactobacillus) have been shown to be safe and effective.
