What kind of discomfort is she having? Is she having colicky pain, cramps or bloating sensation. Does she have normal bowel movements? Sometimes children have colic or stomach ache due to gas formation. This can also be a possible cause for discomfort. Make sure not to give beans, onions, or any gas forming food. If she has pain in stomach soon after ingesting food, then it could be due to gas. You can give gripe water to the child to relieve discomfort and rub a small amount of asafoetida (hing in hindi) after roasting it on gas flame. Cool down to a suitable temperature and rub it around the navel. You can dissolve asafoetida in mustard oil and rub it around the navel to relieve gas and strengthen baby's abdominal muscles too.

You can also give buttermilk with added carom seeds powder (ajwain in hindi) and black salt to relieve stomach discomfort.

Hope this will be helpful in solving your problem.
