Today, parents are more aware of specialized nutrition for
specific problems that arise from infant and children's health issues.
Television influences the visual stimuli and since the children are not
born with a preference for salty or overly sweet foods, they have to
acquire a taste for them. Despite attempts to provide 3 nutritional
meals a day, who says they will eat it. Kids are finicky and won't sit
still even though, the food is prepared with the best of intentions.
Now Foods has complete Vitamins and Minerals in Orange Splash and Berry Chewables.
Child
Life Essentials has a great tasting Vitamin and Mineral in 8 oz liquid.
Chewables and Liquids have come a long way since first introduced in
the 60's (I was there). Yummi Bears by Hero Nutritional Products has
Whole Food Nutrients in a value size, so if you have several little
ones, this has 200 Bears with certified organic veggies and fruits, all
the good ones, even brussel sprouts, cabbage and spinach, various
berries too. For the older ones that can swallow, they also have a
Vegetable And Fruit Blend in caps that have an enormous array of
nutrients including Green Tea, Digestive Enzymes etc. Of course breast
milk is the very best for infants, however your Doctor might even
suggest a multi in liquid for little ones. I find prescription ones not
entirely full of the right nutrients, and may also have other
ingredients from the pharmaceutical companies, that may not sit well
with a parent, who would like a more wholesome multi. Country Life has
Maxi Babycare with iron in a Raspberry flavor, with all the essentials
including Vitamin K for bone development. Twinlab has Infant Care, fruit
flavored with Fish Liver and Cod Liver Oil. Bringing up baby means a
lot of diapers. With all the new kinds of diapers out in the market
including the plastic ones, California Baby has a Calm Diaper Cream,
with food grade nutrients from Zinc, Tea Tree and Aloe, with an
Essential Oil Blend.
Boiron Homeopathics has Calendula Ointment to
sooth sore tuchies. California Baby has a Bubble Bath for the sensitive
ones, this should be for all young ones, so they don't have to deal
with artificial ingredients and the bad stuff from other sources. It
comes unscented in 13 ozs and no irritation. They specialize in chemical
sensitive children, and have quite a range of products. Now, you pre
-moms, that needs some help with nausea and feeling icky. Babys Bliss
has a Peach and Ginger flavored Liquid, supporting those endearing
moments. Babys Bliss also has Gripe Water in 4 ozs of Liquid. An amazing
formula that works for those teething stressful times of discomfort
(they say if grown-ups had to go through that, we couldn't do it).
Hylands has Teething tabs for babies and a Homeopathic Kids Kit with 7
items for the little ones to keep on hand for any issue that walks in.
This Kit addresses all the various ailments that we all have experienced
while growing up.
Ear Infection, pain and hurting!
A Hot
Topic in every parenthood, because it's so prevalent. Recent studies of
children who have had a tympanostomy, an incision in the ear drums, to
place plastic drainage tubes show that up to 52% of young ones develop
hard scar tissue, according to Dr. Robert Mendelsohn MD, author of "How
to raise a healthy child, in spite of your Doctor". Dr. Michael A
Schmidt, author of "Childhood Ear Infection", wrote the great majority
of all ear infections involve no bacteria, they are inflammation and
fluid back up, usually related to allergies, mostly to milk products and
nutritional deficiencies including not enough Vitamin C. Hyland's has
Eardrops and Tabs for ear pain and burning. Eclectic Institute also has
Ear Drops For Kids, just warm and drop in the ear. Wallys Natural
Products has Ear Oil, Almond, Tea Tree, Garlic Eucalyptus, and Mullein
(good for glands). You may look into Ear Candling, an old fashioned
remedy that cleans wax out of the ears. The American Academy of Allergy
and Immunology, says that a child has more than 25 percent chance of
developing allergies if one parent has it.
If both have, it's a 66
percent chance. Most are unaware that allergic and chemical
sensitivities can trigger ear infections, a higher rate even in the
antibiotic group, so be sure to give Natren's Life Start for Infants 2.5
ozs. It provides the beneficial bacteria to restore what has been
destroyed in the gut. American Health has the Acidophilus in Liquid
Culture 16 ozs in flavors of Banana, Blueberry and Strawberry. Child
Life Essentials has Life Colostrum Plus with the Probiotics. Colostrum
will rebuild anti-bodies and children may do a complete turn about. In
powder form you can sprinkle on foods, or even take separately. Also
drop in some Garlic Oil, odor free by Wakunoga/Kyolic, it helps keeps
away vampires and possibly infections and parasites. For those that need
more concentration and more focusing, less squirming and fidgeting,
Source Naturals has Focus Child which includes all forms of
Phosphatidylcholine (brain food) DHA and Grape Seed. Jarrow has a Liquid
Max Dha, which can be added to shakes and food. Natures Way has the Efa
Blend Attention Focus, essentials for intelligence and vision. Since
Calcium is antagonistic to lead build up in children's bodies and those
that have a Lactose Intolerance with dairy, Country Life has Tall Tree
Chewable Calcium in Tutti-frutti Flavors. Peter Gillhams Natural
Vitality has Kid Calm and Baby Calm, in a special proprietary
formulation of Magnesium and Vitamin C, relaxing nerves and more
concentration. In Schools and Daycares, respiratory problems always
arise.
So when the Immune System need attention Bio Strath Liquid
is perfect for children immunity, all with herbs, nutrients and aminos.
Herbs For Kids has VI Protection Blend for all Viral Infections, very
tasty with Echinacea, Hyssop and Lemon Balm. For more builder-uppers,
there is Barley Essence Berry Blend by Green Foods Corporation in
Raspberry and Straw berry flavors. It's Young Barley Grass, a complete
Phytonutrients (veggies). For problems with mucus and coughing,
Boerickle And Tafel has the 8 oz Childrens Cough And Bronchial Syrup for
that deep growling bark. (We used to call it croup) Eclectic Institute
has Echinacea/ Goldenseal, a natural antibiotic in a Strawberry
Tincture, and Herbs For Kids has several blends helpful for allergies,
cold and flu. Don't forget the Vitamin C in Liquid by Natrol Ester C
With Elderberry and Source Naturals has the very hip Mega Kid (a new
one) in a variety of flavors includes the antioxidants Spinach, Broccoli
and Carrots (just what they love to eat) What about Constipation and
Diarrhea? Yerba Prima Powder in Apple Cinnamon 12 ozs, with Oat Bran and
Barley Bran, put some in Rainbow Light's Protein Energizer. Rice
Protein, no dairy, no soy, or sugar, low fat, low carb, Chocolate flavor
with a Whole Food Base, and easy to digest. Even grown-ups can do this.
Also good to fill you up, since obesity concerns are running rampant.
Throw
in Real Berry/Real Green Bars, has all the Berries, and Apple Fibers,
makes a wholesome Snack, between meals or part of one. No High Fructose
Corn Syrup or Trans Fat Oils, lethal for children with special needs or
low immunity. In today's world pediatricians are now recognizing and
acknowledging the importance of Supplementation. There's even more
awareness in the medical community as many over the counters are filled
with dyes, sugars and alcohol. Parents now have the ability to ensure
their offspring will be alright and healthy Naturally!
