I've heard that herbal tea with mint would help with gas what do you think?

My daughter is 7 weeks old and suffers from bad gas(colic).I've tryed Mylicon,Gripe water,Colic tablets and pumping her legs along with all the other things I could do to ease the pain,like singing,rocking etc.....None of them work when she is really in pain.Though I have heard to try Spearmint or Peppermint tea as long as it's caffeine free.What have you heard if anything about this remedy.Also any advice on relief unmentioned.I did tell the doctor about her gas(colic) and she suggested Mylicon or another form of over the counter remedy.Thank you for your help

your daughter is too young to drink tea..... your daughter is too young to hold her head up by herself so I suggest laying her on her stomach and gently pat her back.



Green tea with a little piece of ginger does help ease colic. This is what my father usually gave me when I was a little boy. but your daughter is only 7 weeks old... too young.



I'm Chinese by the way...and a father of an 8th year old...
Reply:I agree with the other guy I wouldn't introduce tea right now it is too early and she is too young. Keep using those gas drops they work just keep up with the dosage because I think they allow you to give them a lot.
Reply:NOOOOOOOOOOOO she is to young no way. also I doubt it is colic bc everyone makes you think that and so did i when my son was that age (hes 3 months now). It was his milk he was on enfamil woo bad makes the super gassy. he was always crying and my life was horrid. I swicthed to goodstart and in a week wow life was so good and hes never has gas since nor cried all day.
