chamomile tea for colicky baby?

I went to the pedi today and he told me to give her chamomile tea with a teaspoon of sugar in a bottle to help with her upset stomach. She has only gotten breastmilk so far and I am a little wary of giving her the tea and also the sugar! has anyone heard of this?

    I gave 1 ounce of weak tea for colic and it seemed to help.  I also did massage on his belly, the I love you's and it really relaxed him, too.

     I would try it without the sugar.

    i was always told fennel tea. old polish remedy.

    fennel is the main ingredient in the 'gripe water'

    i would NEVER add sugar to a baby's bottle. hmmm.

    my mom always told me to make a tea out of fennel seeds (used for baking) in hot water, cool and add a small bit to my BM (or formula) in a bottle. ALWAYS worked.

    I was told that chomomile tea consumed by mom helped to calm a colicky baby. Never tried it, but it can't hurt you to have some tea and see if it works.
