Babies have delicate skin that are also capable of absorbing much easier than grown children and adults. And obviously they are much smaller. Generally essential oils are super concentrated and should be avoided. Whole plant is always going to be the safest and most appropriate.

• A layer of bruised/softened onion under the baby's foot, place a sock over it to allow for the cold and flu fighting nutrients to absorb directly into the baby's body or bloodstream.

• Use garlic onion ginger to boil and allow the baby to be in an environment where some of the steam can safely and naturally be breathed in.

• Steep oregano leaves for 15 to 20 minutes. Just a few drops on the baby's tongue at a time, few times a day.

• If baby lacks good gut bacteria from little breastfeeding in the past or having had bottle dairy based formulas in past, probiotic powder on mom's breast for breastfeeding can boost. But the best way to give your baby healthy microbiota, is natural breast feeding. You can read about it here.

• If high fever, keep the head cool. If you feel the need to bring it down, you can use the cool sponge/towel and gently wipe baby (20-30mins max, stop if shivering). Dipping baby in lukewarm water is another option. Remember that the fever is the amazing innate immune response that is releasing Natural Killer cells to kill the pathogen.

• Breastfeed (no bottles please) while supplementing with a plant-based formula.

It must be a well-balanced home-made plant-based formula that is given together with breast milk.)

• Food sensitivities: Get a panel for both mom and baby. enterolab.com is where our medical missionaries send their samples for testing.

• Mom should reform her diet in order for the baby to have well-balanced but also clean nutrition through breast milk free of allergens that can pass through.

• Seek a holistic and Airway Dentist for a thorough evaluation of lip ties buckle ties and tongue ties. It is most ideal if this Airway Dentist works together with a holistic IBCLC. (As an FYI holistic could also mean homeopathic and a variety of other things which could have spiritual roots.)

I thought there's something good to be similar to infants like just a little bit more if needed. The challenge with toddlers is that they now have the ability to refuse and know the difference in flavors. This has been considered in the remedies.

Similar precautions applied to toddlers as infants.

Toddlers have delicate skin that are also capable of absorbing much easier than grown children and adults. And obviously they are much smaller. Generally essential oils are super concentrated and should be avoided. Whole plant is always going to be the safest and most appropriate.

• A layer of bruised onion under the toddler's foot, place a sock over it to allow for the cold and flu fighting nutrients to absorb directly into the toddler's body or bloodstream.

• Use garlic onion ginger to boil and allow the baby to be in an environment or some of the steam can be naturally breathed in.

• Steep oregano leaves + whole stevia leaf (can be cut smaller) for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. Give A few drops or half a teaspoon at a time based on age size, few times a day. Other option, dilute into water.

• Probiotic powder on mom's breast for breastfeeding or sprinkle over some of the solid meals.

• 1/2 lemon squeezed in 1 cup lemon, 1 garlic clove. Tiny pinch mineral salt (Celtic). Blend with stevia leaf. Ok to strain. Few sips at a time or 1/4cup based on age/weight.

If high fever keep the head cool with a cool sponge. Can you use the cool sponge for bathing if there is a need to bring the fever down. Remember that The fever is the amazing innate immune response that is releasing Natural Killer cells to kill the pathogen.
