Daily Routine - Alleman,IA

The poop sounds ok (as ok as poop sounds), but I do have a recommendation for the cold.

The link should take you to the cheapest place I can find Sambucus. It is an elderberry extract. All my children are foster kids and as such are all drug exposed at birth. This causes them to get sick very often. We used to have a sick kid (or all three) a week, but with regular doses of Sambucus we get a sick kid maybe once every couple months

Honestly I'd just take him to the dr and chat with them.

Why would you stop giving him yogurt when he is sick? This is the most important time to be giving him yogurt and actually you should be giving it to him daily. Yogurt has probiotics in it and that helps keep your immune system strong. Its very important, however it does depend on what kind of yogurt you eat. Not all of it has live cultures in it. I give my kids the Yoplait gogurt tubes. They love them!! We go through so much its crazy. Its really good for you.

Mmmmm.... if you're currently in Seattle he may be experiencing the whole Seattle Sinus.

We have more mold here than in the Amazon and 3 out of the 4 biggest rainforests in the world. Add into that our bizarre weather (70s one week, 40s the next, daily temperature fluctuations of 10-40 degrees between one day and the next, and the pervasive damp), and our immune systems go totally wonky. Sniffles can and do last months. Sinus infections, upper respiratory infections (hack hack hack)... It usually takes people most of a year for their bodies to get in the "flow" with our environment... because it changes so often. About the only constants are the molds and the damp. ALTHOUGH many of us with "chronic" sinus infections/ etc find that all we have to do is cross the mountians or head out of state to have them "clear up" in 24hrs.

Weclome to the hack, hack, sniff, hack Great Northwest.

Oh yeah... we have one of the highest populations of unvaccinated kids AND people typically bring their sick kids with them out in public on a regular basis (no lie, you will see mom's with barf bags at the park because they didn't want to be "cooped up" on a sunny day... and FORGET racking coughs, fevers, pox, handwashing, covering when sneezing or coughing. <rolls eyes> It's "no one else matters" syndrome. And it's rampant.

My daughter started eating dal pretty early and pooped about that amount.

Sometimes when kids are fighting infection their poop increases as well, so that may be the tie-in.

Good idea to avoid dairy with the cold. My husband swears that homeopathy helped our daughter even though I'm not sure I believe it, but that is one option, if you're looking to avoid antibiotics. I think he gave our daughter pulsatilla.
