It depends how young or old your child is, but there are a number of things which can help - the two most common of these being Peppermint tea (well sweetened), and "gripe water".

Gripe water is intended for babies and children up to about 18 months, to help ease the kinds of pain associated with the stomach and with gas, while Peppermint tea helps with older children. Peppermint is well known to calm and settle the stomach, as well as having an assisting effect in bringing up and dispersing wind.

In the absence of Peppermint tea, giving your child a Peppermint to suck (something with real Peppermint oil in it, like Altoids) makes a good substitute.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
