I work with a company that makes a difference in our world. The products are so much safer, better, and healthier because they use all natural ingredients in their products compared to the products from the grocery store (from the medicines, beauty care, house cleaning products, children's line and so much more. You would be surprised to learn how many toxic ingredients you can find in home and personal care products. We have a children's line of shampoos, lotions, vitamin, and soaps. We also have sunscreen that I am confident enough to put on my 8 month old. She has never broken out or gotten a rash with any of the products I use for my children. In fact, their allergies and asthma attack have reduced dramatically since I started using the products. This is someone I am proud of and enjoy working with from home. We have a team to help, train and guide you to success either as a preferred customer or as a business partner. We are the Team, the team that cares about you.

If you're breastfeeding, I've heard that squirting BM up a baby's nose will help clear it out better than saliine does.

I totally agree with you that antibiotics are not good. They are overused and so I think they end up weakening the immune system rather than strengthening it. Remember homeopathic remedies are designed to work with the body's immune system and so they may take longer to work. Marilyn has some good suggestions for keeping her comfortable while you wait it out but as long as she's still eating/sleeping/playing just fine then you have nothing to worry about. Good luck.

My bub is 7 months old now and I have been using saline drops for a blocked nose since she was born. Not sure where you are but in Australia we have something called "Fess Little Noses" which is a saline solution in a dropper bottle with an aspirator to clear the nose. I squirt a bit in both nostrils before her bath (the steam from the water helps) and then I aspirate out the boogers! It works a treat for us and I agree, it's better than using antibiotics. When she has a cough I use a homeopathic cough medicine which seems to help her too. Hope that helps you out a bit.... good luck :)
