REMEDIES OF MINOR PROBLEMS WITH BABIES

Being a mother is not all fun and the sweet things everyone talks about. Its a roller coaster rides of ups and downs, it does have the fun bits, the worrying bits, frustrations and anger. Its a mixed bundle, specially without much guidance, there are so many times when you just freak out at so many small things. I have gone through tonnes and tonnes, with everyday being a new experience.

          The best way to take things are a day at a time, let the day pass, and tomorow will worry about tomorrow. I have always been able to cope through the pressure better with all this.

The small troubles and remedies, I will try to post one each day

1. STOMACH ACHE OF A BABY: Generally this is the most common problem with small children, this generally occurs when a mother who is breast feeding eats something which does not suit their stomach, some heavy grains, I will give a list of things beans, green peas, gram lentils, gram flour, refined flour, pizza,kidney beans. If a child has a stomach ache,then the crying increases when you put a hand on the stomach and gently press it, or it feels a hard. The remedy is ASOFETIDA , this is a herb , it is called hing in india, just take 2- 3 pinches os asofetida and mix it in about 10-15 drops of water, it will take some time to dissolve, around 5 minutes, then just apply it on the baby's stomach, the stomach will relax in about 30 minutes, its safe, and also has no side effects and it is also as it is applied locally it is safest.

 If anyone needs any suggestions on anymore food I will post more. There is a herbal remedy about it, an ayurvedic one, I will post it if anyone needs it, but generally the herbs are found in India.
