Soothing a Cold

Posted by: Sharmila Rajah Post(s) by this blogger

It's simply impossible to keep the two siblings apart, even when Ayanna has a cold and cough. It was only time before Shamindra picked up the cold and cough. There's no medication that has proven effective on babies, if any they only eliminate the symptoms.

It's important that Shamindra gets enough milk; and we use the saline drops and extract if there's too much mucus. This time round, I used an organic chest rub (Badger brand) containing traditional herbs such as rosemary, eucalyptus, and tea tree to soothe and ease coughs, colds and runny noses. It supports the body's innate ability to heal itself. I must say it did bring Shamindra comfort while he slept .

Do you have an alternative method to soothe your baby during these times?

Glad to have Daddy home

Me and my Daddy

We're so glad Daddy's home.

Dads have a very important role in parenting. Nothing can substitute a father's influence over his child. Studies show that children benefit from a beneficial rapport with their fathers - providing something so precious and valuable to their child's development. Dads have an inimitable way of playing with their kids, caring and communicating with them.

We Love You Daddy!
