First bad cold, and eczema

Even though his first fever was the day he turned 6 months, his first bad cold showed up for his 8 month birthday. He’s snotty, can’t sleep, crabby.

Here’s what our naturopath prescribed, for those of you with kids:

1) Vitamin C powder (not Emergen-C, which has sweeteners) - 50mg (a pinch) every 2 hours in a tsp of food or with some water

2) Jarrow’s baby Probiotics - 1/8 tsp 2x/day

3) Sweet Echinacea Glycerite (not in alcohol) - 5 drops on spoon every 2 hours, or w/ the Vitamin C above.

In other news, introducing new foods has given Zayha eczema. I discovered that Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream gets rid of it!

Unhappy snuffly baby
