I just gave my 7.5 month old daughter 3 ml of my breastmilk with maybe 1/4 tsp of turmeric mixed in, via syringe. She loved it! Weird, as I thought it tasted pretty icky. But she's almost instantly fell asleep. Because she's finally comfortable?? She has a very bad cough. Hoping for the best! Thanks for all the tips!

Dear All, It will really work and is very effective. Have a Desi Paan leave, wash it propertly with clean water,cut pieces of it. Have ajwain (3/4 spoon) put it in a very clean piece of cloth, tie a knot of it. Have one glass water in pan, put ajwain knot and paan pieces in water. Boil it on SIM gas till water become little less than half. Filter it and keep it in a jar. Give your baby 1-2 spoon at a time, thrice a day,and m sure u will see the result in 2-3 days. If there is cough also, add a pinch of pure turmeric also in water whicle boiling. May God bless all babies in world

Greetings all I've been using holistic remedies for years for my son who is not 8. I just recently had a daughter she is 9 months and currently has a cold I give her fruit juice, water, herbal tea in her bottle and put baby vicks on her feet with thick socks. She is sleeping peacefully now. I also as needed gently aspirate her nose. Alot of the advice on here is worth looking into, although I don't give honey to my baby either as she is under 1...just to be cautious. But once she's 1 it's on. lol

My 4 month old had very bad cold and cough. These are the home remedies I applied. All proved to be extremely affective and helped bring the cough out. 1. Boil betel leaves and ajwain in water till reduced to half. Give the baby about 1.5 ml twice a day. 2. For cough, just take some honey on the tip of ur finger and apply on her tongue about 3 times a day. 3. Steaming using eucalyptus and rosemary oil. 3. Warm mist humidifier at night.

My two sons , are generally affected with enlarged tonsils, when ever they have acute cough, I always give them hot milk mixed with turmaric, at night. One more thing can be helpfull, heat lukewarm Desi ghee and apply on neck at both sides, at elbows, hand and foot fingers joints.

Avoid giving bath, only sponging is better. For relief from cold for my 21/2yr old I let him do warm inhalations by putting 1/2 a karvol (vicks drops available in any medical store) twice a day for 5 continuos days. And for cough, I boil 2 cup of water into which I add 5 tulsi leaves,5 mint(pudina leaves) and 1 teaspoon Kadisakar(sugar chips/sugar candy/big crystal sugar). I boil it until it lessens to 1 cup firstly every morning and let him drink it.

wrap some Aniseed (ajwain) in a piece of cloth and make it into a ball. Heat the ball of cloth with an iron or 'tawa' and place it gently on your child's chest. Move it back and forth. Make sure the cloth isn't so hot, that it would burn your baby's skin! Your child will feel better. Do this for two days, and you will see results.

I am just reading some of the comments and I would like to point out to parents that honey should NEVER be given to a child under one year old. There is an enzyme in the honey that can not be digested and can be dangerous. Also peanut butter should not be given under 4 years old for similar reasons. Always check with doctor or pharmacist. Enjoy the comments

Many moms and ladies have suggested honey for babies or children below 1 year. Please do NOT give honey to babies or children below 1. Look up the internet and you will find plenty of reading material on this.

I believe I will try some of these remedies. My son also has a cold and coughing. He is not close to being one yet but am not hestitant to use honey and or other ingredients mentioned here. A lot of parents here in the US are told to stay away from honey, water, and other foods until a certain age. I respect that but I'd rather try home remedies that have been around for years and used from generation to generation. People from countries like India, China, even Mexico have similar remedies and believe me they are much healthier then the American populatin.

Ladies I think you better be abit more careful about the potions and lotions you are using on not children but babies. Scary stuff, to the ladie that gives her children milk, it produces flem that and bananas stare well clear for coughs and colds, and the other this is the year 2000 don't make her a garlic necklace, get garlic tablets and vitamin c. Get with the programme.

For babby; cough,you may take 3 or 4 button onion.Chop this into fine pieces and add 20gms.of sugar candy(kadi sakkar) and let it remain covered in a ceramic saucer.Mornig you will find a solution,with the consistancy of semi glyserine.Please give rhis to your baby one year old or 10yr.old.this will cure the cough in a couple of days like magic.For elder babies there is an excellent remedy.Take equal quantities of thymol and sugar and powder it fine and give the baby half tea spoon tea spoon doses as and when ecessary.This controls the cough immediately within a day or two.Please try.These are time tested Herbal remedies.

For fast releive of cold & cough I give to my children tumreic in warm milk. Sometimes I give small quantity of regular tea made with clove & cinnamon with little salt added to this. I avoid ginger cause it can cause fever in infants.
