Breastfeeding

Give your baby a good start in life. Advantages of breastfeeding will tell you all about why you should breastfeed.

Colic

Anise tea has the best taste. Babies are crazy for it. Caraway or Fennel tea soothes their colic.

Diarrhea

When you start diversifying your child’s meal, he might get diarrhea. Try fresh grated carrots.

Constipation

You know you should hydrate yourself in case of constipation. The same goes for your child too.

Make sure he or she drinks enough Chamomile and Marigold tea.

Here is my best cure for constipation in toddlers. My daughter, Roxana passed through difficult times. This natural remedy worked like a charm.

Clean the irritated area with a Chamomile infusion more concentrated than the one for drinking.

Do not hesitate to consult your pediatrician if your child shows adverse reactions to herbs like headache, nausea, skin rash, agitation!


Immune system

In daycare or at kindergarten, children are more prone to catch cold, especially in the autumn or in the winter season.

Here are a couple of natural remedies that will give their immune system a nice boost:

"We had only a weekend of slight fever and a congested nose for a week this year, but nothing more serious than that" with sea buckthorn.

I heard a humorous story about boosting the children's immune system with Black Currant and making babies at the same time.

The prevention part goes for us as well. It's easy as pie to follow an immune system booster cure every spring and fall. The benefits are enormous.


Cough, Sore throat & Nasal congestion

Calm your baby coughing using only natural cough remedies.

Medicines are not the only way to relieve a stuffy or runny nose. Try first gentler home remedies for nasal congestion to thin the mucus and help the child breathe easier.
