A little one with a sore, gurgly tummy is a worried, unsettled little one — and you want to soothe them gently, without heavy medicines.
Here are the gentle natural tummy picks parents reach for, always checking age suitability with your pharmacist or GP.
Why children get tummy troubles
Little tummies are sensitive, and everything from a new food to a bug to big feelings can upset them.
- A sensitive gut, little digestive systems easily unsettled.
- Bugs and new foods, common triggers for a sore or loose tummy.
- Big feelings, excitement or worry that can churn a small stomach.
The short version: little tummies are easily unsettled, and gentle age-appropriate support helps them feel better.
