I want to avoid using 'intestinal heaviness' here. I've seen a few hits on Google but not I'm convinced it is the correct term to use.

gripe

as we're talking about babies, and this is a common "complaint" with young babies meaning nothing more specific than a nasty tummyache that keeps baby crying - sometimes for hours on end... :( :(

This has nothing to do with "intestinal distortion" which is something far more serious (suffered by horses?)

Treating baby's gripe does of course mean that baby and his parents all get some sleep (at last!)
Which is where the "descanso" comes in

Actually, I think I probably really meant COLIC!

My baby had terrible colic for the 1 few months, but what we had to treat her with was called gripe water


But take your pick!
