Natural Remedies For Babies

Hi- my 10 month old daughter has a cold (Stuffy Nose and Congestion). We're going through the usual steps (Humidifier, Saline Drops, Nasal Aspirator, Steam Shower). Does anyone have suggestions in terms of natural remedies that have worked for your child? Thanks.

I found that a humidifier; baby vicks on their chest, back, and bottom of their feet; and tylenol only if fever gets high, helped my son to feel better until it was over.

is diluted clove oil safe to use? and what carrier oil is best?
any other suggestions? she's only 7 weeks old, so i think most remedies are just not gentle enough for one that young.

A doctor has said that clove oil should NOT be used on babies and small children and should not be used by pregnant ladies:

I agree with hitchboy.....chamomile in particular. You can buy the homeopathic chamomile teething granules from health shops or you can just give your baby cooled chamomile tea on a spoon or in a bottle. Fennel tea could be given as an alternative, especially where accompanied by colic...but chamomile tea can also help with colic too, though fennel is more widely used for colic and chamomile tea is more widely used for teething. I would just use the one depending on what is dominant: teething or colic. In your case chamomile. But if a baby had both, both herbs could be used but at separate times.

For older babies (6 months onwards) you could let them chew on a stick of licorice root or marshmallow root supervised only... in addition to giving chamomile tea or granules.

You could ask this question in this section too:

Seven weeks is pretty young for teething but not unheard of. If you are nursing the breast milk should help also.

Best wishes.
