- Constipation
When I brought my baby home from the hospital she was constipated for the first three days. The pediatrician told us to use karo syrup the dark kind. It didnt work for my baby we wound up giving her infant suppository. Another three days went by still giving karo syrup and no poop! We had to give the suppository again. We wound up changing her formula to good start because it has the comfort proteins already broken down. We've been fine since!

- cool summer treat
I wanted a cool treat for my 9 month old who is teething. So,I puchased a "Baby Safe Feeder" (it is a mesh bag that screws on to a handle) and cut up pieces of banana, froze them in the freezer (wrapped in plastic wrap and a baggie while in the freezer to keep it fresh)and then took one piece out at a time, as needed, and put it into the Baby Safe Feeder. My son loves the cool snack and it really seems to help with his teething.

- Cradle Cap
When my son had cradle cap I just rubbed some oil (apricot for example) on his head and let it sit for about 15 minutes and then I took a fine tooth comb and gently combed his head and it came off practically in sheets. He was usually asleep in my arms when I did it so there was no fussing. I cringe when I hear people suggesting head and shoulders. Have you ever used it? It burns your head!

- Cure for Colic
If your baby has been suffering from colic, try this home remedy. Buy some fennel at your local market (this is found at health food stores, grocery stores, etc). Use the fennel to make a strong tea and mix about 1-2 ounces in with the bottle of milk/formula.
**It's best to consult with your baby's pediatrician before trying any home remedies for the first time.**

- Cute organizer
I went to the kitchen section of a local department store. I purchased a three drawer spice/tea holder. It has hooks on the back of it, so I hung it on the wall by my son's changing table. I filled the first drawer with cotton balls, the second with q-tips & alcohol swabs(for the cord), and the third drawer with the small misc items that are easily misplaced.(brush, clippers, bulb, thermometer, etc.)
The top is a shelf so I bought a little basket & that is where I keep the vaseline, diaper cream, and lotion.
Everything is at my fingertips when he is changed and the little things are easy to find.

- Diaper changes easier
I bought a inexpensive plastic basket, just larger than a baby wipes container, from a dollar store. Then I fill it with enough diapers for the day, powder, cream, gripe water, and all the necessities for the diaper change. I keep it in my living room because that's where baby is most the time. Everything is easily excessible and it's small enough to decetly place under a chair or on a shelf.

- Diaper Changing
When changing a infant boy's diaper, keep a stack of those small paper bathroom cups closeby. When the diaper comes off, the cup should go on, if you know what I mean! It contains those occasional unexpected showers!

- Diaper Rash
From anything from a minor rash to a major one, the best thing in the world is a topical application of "Mylanta" (then do not use orally)
Myland is an ant-acid and works on the uric acid left on the baby from the urine. The baby likes it, because it is usually cool on a red, inflamed and slightly warm diaper rash.
You can usually see results fairly quickly

- DIAPER RASH
Everyone is amazed to hear that my daughter is 5 months old and has NEVER has a diaper rash. When I was in the hospital the lactation consultant told me and my husband about this cream that she swore by. Paladin soothing relief diaper rash ointment. It is for chafing, minor burn, and skin irritations. We both work in the medical field and were in disbelief. However, my husband bought two jars of it! We swear by it and only use it from time to time now that she is older. When she was first born we would use it everyday. www.rashcream.com

- Diaper Rash
Poor babies with diaper rash. My grandmother who was born in 1888 in Washington State learned this recipe from her mother who immigrated from Ireland. Little ones still get this even when their mothers have 100% cotton diapers on them.
In our family - we use Browned Flour -
You take a cup of white flour (not brown flour) and brown it in a cast-iron pan. Now if you don't have a cast-iron pan - any pan will do.(We just always use the cast-iron pan). This will take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Watch it carefully because when the flour starts to brown it does so quickly.
Put this wonderful concoction in a jar.
After you have clean and dried their little bottoms just apply a tablespoon or so lightly.
You will be amazed at how comforting this feels for the little tykes and how quickly this works.
Caretakers are happy also. You are not using any chemicals, additivies, etc. - just plain old flour and your babies will be happy that you took the time and made this for them.

- Diaper Rash
When my first son was born, he had a terrible bout with Diarrhea and his bottom was cracked, red and bloody. The best cure I have found for him was corn starch, I would mix some with water and then apply a thick layer of it before my son would go to bed, when he would wake up in the morning his bottom was all better

- DIAPER RASH
I've tried every diaper rash treatment I could find, and the only one that has worked is MAALOX! It neutralizes the acid in your stomach so why not in the diaper? Apply it with cotton or put directly in the diaper. My son's rash cleared up within 1 - 2 changes (even when VERY severe.)

- Diaper Rash
My son had a rash that didn't go away for quite awhile. I made this concoction to help ease the pain and help it go away. It worked in just a few days, when all of the others failed!
1 Large tube Balmex
1 Large tube A & D with Zinc Oxide
1 Tablespoon Maalox
1 Tablespoon Bacatracin
Mix them together well and spread it on at each diaper change, after drying his bottom totally. I used it in conjuction with cloth diapers and it really works!!
Good Luck!
