Home remedy

Hi..

yesterday all of a sudden in the evening babes started passing loose i mean watery motions.. i just started thinking what did she eat etc... but didnt waste time in giving her home remedy treatment.

I immediately gave her black tea to drink.. applied Axe oil on her tummy and tied her tummy tight with a cloth... believe me her motions stopped immediately... and she was fine...

hence thought of sharing this to you. black tea with one or two drops of lime juice in it is very effective.

Also started giving her lot of water to drink.. always remember whenever your child passes motions frequently immediately stir a little sugar, pinch of salt in the water and give the child to drink to prevent dehydration...

Hiccup home remedy

Try this out it works – when your baby hiccups… what you do is dip your thumb in water and then in sugar and give your baby to suck – it really helps .

Yesterday I tried it out with Kiele. I had read about this long back but had never put into practice.. yesterday I tried it out and it worked immediately.

Home remedy

If your child is vomiting - Roast two green elaichi on fire. Let them turn black. Immediately powder the same and add a few drops of honey and give the same to your child to have - thrice a day - It is very effective - not only for babies but also elders.

Secondly – if your child is crying due to stomach upset – take a little hing add little warm water and apply on navel. Your baby will be fine.

Diarrohea

Baby Kiele had diarrohea problem. Whatever she ate could not be retained. One of my neighbour suggested to give her Arrowroot kunjee. Thankfully she had the arrowroot water and she was fine.. her tummy was under control.

The only thing we gave her was arrowroot the whole day since milk could not be given to her at all and she would not take curd rice.

So to be mothers and mothers keep this in mind – in case your child suffers from Diarrohea immediately start with this and give your baby plenty of water to drink.

Secondly her feet too turned cold. So immediately we boiled some peppercorns in the water, dipped the towel in the water squeezed and placed it on her feet, palms.

Motions

Kiele was passing motions frequently for the last 2 days. Motion was not watery hence I was not too much worried, but the thing was she has become very weak. Really didn’t know what to do. Tried home remedy which one of my neighbour suggested and yes it worked.

1 ½ teaspoon of arrowroot powder, ½ litre water, little cardamon powder and sugar. Boiled all the ingredients for some time, kept on stirring. Allowed the mixture to cool under room temparature – gave my baby to drink this water every 1 ½ hours. She felt better and the motions too were under control.

So this is the home remedy I tried when Kiele had motions 2 days back and it really worked wonders. Also gave her rice cunjee – Cunjee is also good when babies passes motions too many times.

Nachni / Ragi (Finger Millet) – best feed for babies

My babes is 6 months old, my mom has introduced to baby Ragi / Nachni porridge. In English it is called Finger Millet Porridge. Nachni is the best feed not only for babies but also for elders – this is my mom’s favourite and medicinal receipe. This has been going on for very long by my grand-ma as well and the receipe has now been passed on to us.

Mom gives baby Nachni / Ragi porridge in the afternoon. Nachni / Ragi is best if you powder it at home. What my mom does is – she buys the whole nachni / ragi and then washes it, spreads the nachni / ragi on a dry piece of cloth dries it in sunlight and finally powders and stores the ragi / nachni flour in air tight container. She prefers to follow this method rather that buying the ready made flour from the market.

Receipe of this wonderful porridge is : She prepares the porridge by adding one teaspoon of nachni / ragi powder, 1 cup milk and little water – depending on the consistency add jaggery for sweetening and just a pinch of salt. Then keep it on slow fire and keep stirring till done to avoid formation of lumps.

This is the best feed one can give their babies. So mums and would be mums – don’t forget to introduce this wonderful meal to your lovely babies.

Cold

Some weeks back – Kiele had a severe cold – she had lost her appetite totally. She just wouldn’t take in any food. We were all very upset and just couldn’t think as to what had to be done for this sudden loss of appetite.

Her monthly check up was due hence we took baby to her doc - everything was fine. I told the doc about baby’s loss of appetite – the doc said no problem she will eat as and when she feels hungry and prescribed some cold medicine.

Two days passed yet baby wasn’t taking much food and she had become very weak. She would not cry but just lie on the bed. That worried us even more. We then started with home remedies which my neighbours and friends suggested. Best home remedy for cold is ajwain. We took some ajwain and roasted it on a hot tawa. Put the roasted ajwain on a piece of cloth and tied it in a small cloth bundle. We placed the warm ajwain bundle on baby’s back, baby’s palms, baby’s sole and kept the bundle near her pillow, while sleeping since she also had nasal congestion. She felt better. It was due to her cold that she had totally lost her appetite but regained it sooner. I must say Ajwain is the best home remedy for cold.
