    Are you using it as a natural remedy? I wouldn't know that answer. I just use store bought gripe water so it's all measured out for me. While I'm sure fennel is harmless in any reasonable amount, I just don't know for sure so I can't advise you.

    I have spoken to Helen the HiPP Nutritionist about this and she says that this tea was recommended from weaning age - as before this time it could interfere with your little ones milk intake. It is fine to introduce this after weaning has begun though.

    Best wishes,

    none -for the next few months, babe only needs breast milk. by age 4-6 months, you can give babe a cup with water for practice. after age 6 months, you can begin to add solid foods into the child's diet. tea mixed with water is a great beverage to serve. for now, brew a cup for yourself & enjoy.

    None. Herbs should be considered the same as drugs and not used without doctor recommendation.
