Hi, dd2 obviously has stomach gripes and there is an awful lot of "wind" being passed. She's been up all last night and not had much of a sleep today either. Both of us are shattered, as I now have the cramps as well I know how she feels. Her stool this morning was fine. Any suggestions on how to treat? I'm running dd1's 4th birthday party tomorrow and if I don't get some sleep soon I'm going to be desperate :0.

Fennel tea is very good at reducing the amount of wind generated. Moving her legs as if she was cycling, and also as if she was doing bunny-hops, can often get the wind out.

massage the stomach in a clockwise direction and sometime applying a little pressure to the intestinal area (palm of hand) helps unlock the air bubbles.
