kelmcd, sorry don't know about the camomile tea, but have you tried cooled boiled water? this will work just as well.

You could also give a tiny bit of diluted gripe water, they say not to use it on babies under a month old, but i'm sure a little bit mixed with the water would be fine.

You could also massage babies tummy in a clock wise direction, to help move the wind through.

Hope these hints help, I've got two windy boys so know where you're coming from.

Good luck Beks

Are you bf? If so you can drink fennel tea yourself which is great for wind and it will be passed on through the milk.

if you are breastfeeding, then drink the stuff yourself, rather than giving to your baby.
tbh, it depends on how badly windy thebaby is. whilst it wont harm your baby, is it really necessary? as you havent gien enough information to us, only you can decide this.
