Help for Sick Babies

Every mother goes through experiences in which she is not sure what is wrong with her sick baby. The list below will help you to know the most common reasons why babies are sick as well as what I have done for my kids.

ENEMA

1.   An enema can take a fever down immediately. If your baby is sick, it means that your baby is full of toxic waste. Each time your baby is sick, it is because they are backed up. An enema will speed up recovery and relieve your baby in no time!

An enema with warm water with a bulb syringe is always a good idea for babies. Or you can use an enema bag but only put a quarter of the bag for the baby.  Babies may be laid on a towel in the tub and very slowly allow the water to enter.  The baby will expel when it needs to.  The solution is never forced in all at once but only the amount that is comfortable.

Put Vaseline on the tube going into the baby’s bottom to be able to insert easier.  The enema could have a little Kyolic (brand name of liquid garlic used in Japan as an antibiotic, it’s in most health food stores and even in some grocery stores. A little catnip tea  (1 T. made into a tea by boiling water, pouring over the tea, let steep about 20 min.) will also help pull out toxins.

You would inject the water into the baby’s bottom, massage the colon from the outside of the tummy. About 1 pint of water.  Repeat 3 times. (each time more water will go in) Use tepid water in the first two bags and the tea and garlic in the third bag.  ( For babies: 1 small fresh garlic bud blended into 1 pint of water may also be used)

Note:  The garlic/catnip enema would be equal parts of the garlic solution and catnip solution.  It should: fight infection,;pulls mucus; kills germs, bacteria, virus and parasites, and increases peristalic action of the colon.

CONTROL FEVER

2.   If the baby has a fever you would want to treat it like “fire in the house”. Fever is burning up poisons in the body, so it’s good if it doesn’t get too high.  You need to put water on it, so to speak.  An enema is one of the fastest ways to bring down a fever and rid the body of congestion.  Water absorption through the skin (bath) but make sure it’s in a warm room and don’t let the baby get chilled. Put a humidifier in a small  room with the baby so it will fill the room easier.

Also, essential oil of lemon is put topically down a baby’s spine takes the fever down as well.  I used it on a neighbor’s baby when she brought it over and the baby’s fever went down within about a minute.

Oil of Garlic

3.  Put this on the bottom of the feet and then put the baby’s sock on. (You can use a garlic pill with oil in it and poke it with a pin and squeeze in onto the foot.

Vitamins from Mom

4.  Nursing Mother can take the Infection Fighting Combination and vitamins and the baby will get them through the milk.

Breathe Easier

5.  Essential oils can be put in the humidifier to help the baby breathe better.  Put 2-3 drops of Tea Tree Oil, I like the Melaleuka brand best.  (T-36 is a very potent type but any tea tree oil will work)

Ear Infection

6.  Ear Infection Usually if the baby has a lot of congestion the possibility of an ear infection is possible.  Treat both ears.

Formula:

  • 3 drops essential oil of garlic (if you don’t have the essential oil just use regular oil of garlic)

  • 3 drops essential oil of oregano

  • 3 drops tea tree oil

  • 100 drops of olive oil

Drop 2-3 warmed drops into each ear and put cotton in the ear. (warming it just feels better.  Put the bottle with herbs in it in some hot tap water for a few minutes.

Jaundice

7.  If a baby has JAUNDICE prick a 100 IU of vitamin E and squirt it in the baby’s mouth.  Just one capsule could be enough for jaundice symptoms to disappear.  Sometimes you may need one more capsule after 12 hours.

Mom’s Diet

8.   Make sure the mother’s diet is good.  No mucus forming foods.  Have her eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and their juices, nuts, grains and seeds.  Dairy and meat and refined foods and foods with excess salt and sugar produce excess mucus in the system.

Herbs work in conjunction with prayer…

One time my 5th child, a son,  got very ill.  I used every herb and detoxifying idea I had learned and my child was still not getting better.  I prayed and asked what I should do.  The thought came to me that prayer should be FIRST and the Spirit would bless me and lead me through what to do for the illness.  Sure enough, that seemed to be the most important thing to do.  My child started improving right after the recognition of this information.  Miraculous!
