Remedies for Infant Congestion

Out little 6 month old is badly congested. She breathes and sounds like there’s a whole slew of mucus in her chest. It came after a cold where she had a runny nose. Then she caught another cold (the by product of our travels to Cairo and Amman), and this stuffed up her nose. For two weeks she’s been blocked and breathing with discomfort. As expected, it worsens at night and she is having trouble falling asleep. She wakes once or twice for a feed, maybe because when she’s swallowing her blocked system clears just a bit and offers her...

Daughter Licking Lip Constantly - What to Do?

I have a darling of a 4 1/2 year old who sticks her tongue out a lot. Mostly when she's thinking, happy, running, doing a physical activity ... not constantly, but almost. She's making quite a red rash on her bottom lip, too. I seem to remember doing this myself as a child, so I know it's not uncommon. My question is, do I correct her every time? Do I let it go and shrug it off as a nervous habit that will take care of itself? My husband thinks I should tell her preschool teachers to try and correct her as well. The problem I have...

Rash on 6 Month Old's Bottom

Our six month old has a rash on her bottom. We noticed a small couple of spots so started putting on A&D Ointment and change her every couple hours, whether really wet or not...(more frequently if needed...) and everyday the rash has gotten worse. We haven't really changed her diet, but she is fighting a cold and teething. We did (on recommendation of her ped)give her some plain yogurt about 5 days before the rash appeared. Since then, I have only given her cereal, formula and baby food that she is used to. Do you think she could be...

14 Month Old with Chronic Diarrhea

My 14 month old son has had chronic diarrhea that has lasted four weeks now. I have taken him to the doctor and they do not seem to be concerned, as he is gaining weight and not dehydrated. However, I am very concerned, as he has developed major diaper rash and runs every time his diaper has to be changed. He screams when changing the diaper, as it hurts him so badly. My daycare provider is also about ready to drop us, as she is not like changing the dirty diapers, nor am I. I am at a loss of what do to for both the diarrhea and diaper rash...

Natural Remedies for Red, Itchy Rash

My 21 month old boy has this large red rash on his bum/lower back. It started out small and didn't bother him and it was getting better but just this morning I got him out of bed and it is much worse and he is itching it now. The red areas are slightly raised and some areas are peeling. We are letting him run around with out his diaper as much as possible and we use Seventh Generation diapers so I know it isn't a sensitivity to his diaper. So, far we have just been using Earth's Best diaper rash onitment. I am wondering if any one has...

9 Month Old Has a Diaper Rash

hi ladies. My little girl has her first diaper rash. It's on her front side and really itchy. I have been trying to wipe her and dry her off and let her air out a bit before putting her back in a diaper. I am using butt paste on it also. How do i know if i need to use something else, like if it's a fungal infection? Also tonite i couldn't keep her from scratching it while i was trying to let her air out a bit. She was close to drawing blood! Should i use some cortisone cream down there?

19 Month Old with Yeast Infection

My 19 month old girl was on antiboitics for three weeks for her ear infection. Now she has a yeast infection. Her diaper is irritating her and she now has red bumps and pulls at her diaper. Her pediatrician said to put on an anti fungal twice a day and give her yogurt with live cultures (which she has always had daily). Has anyone had to treat this? Is there anything else I should or shouldn't do? I can only imagine how uncomfortable she is. Thanks.

Two Month Shots

My son had his two month shots three days ago and he is still acting very fussy and he is having a hard time taking naps during the day. Is it normal for him to be still reacting to his shots this long after having them? He seems to want to be held 24-7 which is VERY unusual for him. And he is 16.8 lbs already so he is hard to hold for that long. Could this be a reaction to the shots?
