I used Fennel tea with my last baby, but as an aid to reducing 'gas' in the
baby (I drank it, not the baby!). I got the information from ALCA (Aust
LC Association) News Vol 4 No 3 Editor Maureen Minchin stated that "3 or
more cups drunk by the mother is reported to reduce gassiness in the
breastfed baby....." but doesn't give a reference. I've not heard of its
other properties - I really wish I knew more about homeopathic remedies.
