Time to Build Immunity

In all his 7 months, Jaeden has never encountered diarrhoea - not until recently.In parenting, I've come to learn that some things can't be rushed, especially the healing of our babies when they are sick. Paediatricians cannot prescribe too strong a medicine because our babies are too young. When Jaeden was slightly colickly (in his early 1st month), we administered the good old Ruyi oil and Ridwind and slowly Jae grew out of having windy spells in his tummy (at about 2 months);When Jaeden caught the cough from Mommy (I felt so guilty then), we gave him cough mixture for a whole week before seeing slight improvement;Now when Jaeden has diarrhoea, we switched his milk from normal formula to soy formula, and supplement with Bio-Gaia. It's been 2 weeks and he is only showing lesser loose stools this week. It is plain heartache to see baby unwell but we can't rush his recovery with antibiotics or jabs like adults.Yet experienced parents will assure me that infants/toddlers/children build immunity through sickness.  And lil' Jae is a little soldier who continues to smile even when he is unwell. We should learn from our babies; smile despite of your condition! <9 Mar 2012>Taken from iPhone4 (Note to Karen: "Great shot! But need sturdier hands" :P)
