These are internal gastrointestinal processes of adaptation of newborns to a new environment, and for children they are very uncomfortable. But also dill water can be useful for the mother, who does not have enough milk, to help regulate lactation or digestion.

How to brew dill vodichku for a newborn?

The recipe for dill is quite simple, you will need ingredients from the pharmacy or from your garden. Despite the name, this infusion is best made not from dill seeds, but from fennel seeds, which has many useful properties for the body. Fennel looks like dill, it is easy to take care of, so you can plant this plant in your garden in order to have it on hand. If this is not possible, you can always buy the necessary ingredient in the pharmacy.

In pharmaceuticals, it is done this way: for 1 liter of pure distilled water, take 0.05 ml of essential oil of fennel seeds and mix. You can store and apply such water for a month. Dill vodichka in the home is done a little differently because of the fact that getting fennel oil can be quite problematic. Usually a small portion of dill water is prepared, so that it can not be stored for a long time. 1 teaspoon of dill seeds ( fennel ) pour 200 ml of boiling water (take clean distilled water!), After an hour the infusion is filtered. Once the water is cold, you can give it to your baby. In principle, every mother can make this infusion independently, this will save money on buying expensive branded drugs and teas. Let's clarify some points:

1. If the infusion is prepared by you at home, it is best to do it in small portions, as often as possible.
2. The purchased 1% solution of fennel oil (and other already liquid products based on dill water) is stored for up to a month at room temperature.
3. If you bought the drug in the form of powder or dry dill tea in bags, then it must be brewed immediately before use, as written in the instructions.

How to prepare dill vodichku it is already clear, now it is necessary to find out what dose a newborn baby can give. With obvious symptoms of stomach colic (the child cries for no apparent reason, blushes, tugs, presses the legs to the tummy), such principles of treatment with dill vodichka are applicable:

1. First days, give no more than 1 teaspoon of infusion shortly before meals no more than 3 times a day. On some, already ready preparations it is specified, that it is enough and 3-5 drops. When it becomes clear that the allergy to fennel in the child is not, the dose can be increased (given before each feeding).
2. A child on breastfeeding is better to give dill water not from a bottle, and in a spoon with infusion to add breast milk.
3. The baby on artificial or mixed feeding can safely add infusion of fennel in a bottle or give separately.
4. Dill-water is an absolutely harmless product that improves the digestion of a child, it can be combined with other medicines if necessary.
