Sometimes I feel like I never know what is the right thing to do as a mom. Just when I feel comfortable about something, they tell us “stop using it!”, it could be detrimental to your little one’s health. It’s important that we moms keep up with our reading. This afternoon I read a follow up article on cnn about infants and over the counter medicines. My li’l one has a runny nose pretty often, thanks to his daycare. I guess once they’re out there, you have to learn to let go. That’s the only way their bodies will learn to fight and build immunity. He doesn’t really like the taste of water. But I mix it with Gripe water, a magic potion for kids (available at any Indian store) and he drinks the water in a jiffy! That’s a great way to keep him hydrated. It works for me. Otherwise, how on earth do you make your kid or anyone like the taste of water??
