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! -------------

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!

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!!------------- http://lilypie.com">
