Q. How can you settle the baby if she has a tummy ache?

there are these gas drops (I think Mycelex?) that work wonders. And with my kids it sometimes helped to carry them face down on your arm so that there is pressure on the tummy.

Kay beat me to it. I was going to say when they are that young, it is usually gas. Gentle patting on the back while you are holding them on your shoulder sometimes coaxes the burps out....

They have 15 months in Australia? I did not know that. Congrats on the baby OZ.

Today was our 8 yr anniversary. Just a quiet night watching TV and having a intimate dinner of mac & cheese and crunch berries cereal.

One of the best decisions I've ever made by marrying my wife!

You can also try forcing her to pass gas. While laying on her back you hold her legs and kinda push her knees into her stomach, gently. Used to work on my daughter.

The dates on your pictures are - day / month / year.

Here its - Month / day / year.

LOL. Kay and Malto have both expressed my thoughts. Never tried Treo's trick. She has gas and either has to burp or fart/crap. I use to walk around with their stomach on my left shoulder while holding on to their thigh. I would gently bounce as I walked. After a bit I would sit down and gently pat them on the back for awhile. Repeat precees if necessary.

unless she is colicky

Baby colic (also known as infant colic, three-month colic, infantile colic and colic) is a condition in which an otherwise healthy [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant"]baby[/ame] cries or screams frequently and for extended periods without any discernible reason.
The condition typically appears within the first three weeks of life and almost invariably disappears, often very suddenly, before the baby is three to four months old.[1] It is more common in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_bottle"]bottle-fed[/ame] babies, but also occurs in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breastfeeding"]breast-fed[/ame] infants. The crying frequently occurs during a specific period of the day, often in the early evening.
Since the cause is not conclusively established (see below) and the amount of crying differs between babies, there is no general consensus on the definition of "colic". Having ruled out other causes of crying, a common rule of thumb is to consider a baby "colicky" if he or she cries intensely more than three days a week, for more than three hours, for more than three weeks in a month

My brother had that as an infant.
