Good Morning,
Im requesting information regarding formula for Tummies. What would be the best way to make this for my granddaughter to try, of course the Pediatrician wants to prescribe liquid form of Zantac or some other medication, and my daughter is requesting to try something herbal. Would it best just to make a tea, starting out with 5-10 drops to she is she gets any relief? Or would it be better to make a glycerine tincture for her?
please advise
Thank You
Teresa H

Did the pediatrician do any tests or anything to determine the cause? Reflux (besides normal spitting up) in infants is concerning enough, but in a newborn even more so. If the pediatrician’s first tactic is to prescribe long-term acid reducers to a newborn, I would be getting a second opinion, to rule out a structural anomaly, like a defective sphincter. Just my two cents, for whatever it’s worth.

No their was no testing done at all. Which is why my daughter is wondering about just working with something herbal. I totally agree with you, its so hard for me to understand why would you start a new baby on something like that without testing. What has our world come to…

Two things that are safe for lil’ people and can really help are marshmallow and catnip. Teas of either are fine.
Mom can also drink catnip and it will go through her milk. I have no data on this but lots of nursing moms have told me that when they take catnip the bambinos have less colic.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
