There are a few causes of diarrhoea in babies, including change of diet, food allergy, medication or infections due to poor hygiene or teething. Some useful tips to manage baby’s diarrhoea:• Make sure baby drinks plenty
to prevent dehydration. • If your baby has started
consuming solid food, remember the BRAT diet guide.
B – Banana R – Rice A – Apple sauce (Apple &
Quince jar, Babynat) T – Toasted bread
These foods help to firm up and bind baby’s stool during diarrhoea.
• Feed your baby with small meal to allow the digestive system to work gently.

Diarrhoea
Cough Cough is actually a healthy and important reflex that protects the breathing airways in the throat and chest. Your child cough to clear the lining of the throat and respiratory tract from irritation caused by dust particles, air pollutants, food, smoke or excess mucus secreted by mucous membrane itself to soothe irritation and inflammation triggered by infection.

Eczema Eczema is often found as red and scaly patches on baby’s cheeks, joint of arms and legs. It is an immune system reaction which could be triggered by irritants such as chemicals in soap, cream, detergent, or allergens in baby’s diet such as cow milk protein, eggs, and citrus fruits. The condition can be worsened by stress, heat and sweat.

Fever Fever can activate your child’s immune system in a natural way, and prevent susceptibility to disease in later life.
Paediatrician Dr Uwe Stave reported1: “Fever attacks can affect children in quite a positive way. Even though his physical strength is reduced, the child may disclose a wealth of new interests and skills. He may find new and advanced ways to communicate, think, and handle situations, or display a refinement of his motor skills. In short, after a fever, the child reveals a spurt of development and maturation.” 1”ReflectionsonFeverinChildhood”JournalforAnthroposophyNo.42
