Baby Food - Prevents Sickness?

If you have a new born baby, and your child ends up with a mild cough, you surely want to get rid of it, and fast. However, you keep in mind of all those added chemicals and preservatives in the over the counter medication aisle. What's more, recent studies have shown that cough syrups are worthless and the sugar they contain may even prolong illness.

I do have a tip I can share with you, regarding this example, you can always try to solve these problems organically. My first trick is to take my child to the bathroom and run the shower on hot to create steam, which usually frees up and sort of mucus that is causing the congestion.

Water is a mircale drug, as you can also put your baby in a luke warm bath, which can also help free of the mucus from your childs lungs. Make the bath even more effective by adding a few drops of eucalyptus, sage or thyme oil into the bath water.

The cold air sometimes calms the inflammation in the upper airways, so you want to try and keep the tempature a little warmer than you usually would, as babys have far less insulation than adults. Some resources online have many great advice on babies.

Another great trick I have learned when a child has a sore throat, is to make a naturaly and organic tea. Warm tea has been proven to help alleviate the mucus buildup in lungs. Please check with your pediatrician to find out at what age you can start giving your baby these herbal teas. Lastly, the most important thing you can do to help prevent your baby from becoming sick, is to feed your new born the best baby food.
