If she is under 1 yr I would rub some plain oil (eg olive / sweet almond) on first and then the cajaput oil over this (this should hopefully protect her more sensitive skin)
Another excellent remedy for windy tummys in babies (works for adults too!) is homemade gripe water - put 1 teaspoon of dill seed into a cup of boiling water and let cool then give strained infusion - works best if you make a fresh batch every day :-)
