Home remedies for common cold and cough

It's miserable to watch your child suffer by colds she's likely to catch this year.Kids shouldn't use over-the-counter cold and cough medicine because of potentially dangerous side effects. 

So here I m writing few home remedies for Babies(0-12 months)

• Rubbing warm mustard oil with a few garlic cloves in it on chest,under nose,back of feet and palm 

• Boiling water with ajwain and few tulsi leaves and give 2-4 spoons in a day.

• Mix little ginger in honey (1:2 ratio) and lick little drop with finger 2-3 times a day to your baby

• U can roast ajwain on tava. Put it in a cloth and give touch on the chest, back, palms, feet of the baby. or  you can keep it near the nose so that baby can smell it. 

• Dip finger in honey or take little honey on a spoon and make ur baby lick that twice or thrice a day.

• Breast milk is full of antibodies (which are created by the mother’s body in response to pathogens in her unique environment) and immune factors that protect the baby from common illnesses.

If the baby is less than 0-4 months when u  won't give them water , try these above Method for yourself if you are feeding your baby.
