I just got back from a trip to the Bahamas, where drug stores sell a product
called "Gripe Water", used for "windy" (gassy) babies, and its active
ingredient is oil of dill. Anybody know anything about this use of dill
seed? Sounds like there's a useful connection in dill, if it can be used in
both mom & babe.

Don't you love a product labelled "Gripe Water?" It's one thing I love about
UK labelling - they call a product what it is, like "Prickly Heat Powder" by
Johnson & Johnson. You see it, you know what it's for, and you don't have to
guess what the company isn't allowed by the FDA to say...
