Belly Relief Puree

Mommys! It isn't easy seeing your baby with belly pains. 

The best treatment for a little upset stomach is a proper diet. 

Yellow squash is very rich in vitamins and helps with bowel movements 

and proper digestion for your baby. Here is a recipe I whipped up. 

Simple. Quick. Easy. Organic. 

4 small/medium yellow squash 

1/2 cup of pasta

cut the squash into small pieces 

boil both separately 

cook the squash with 1/2 a cup of water

add a little salt if you want

for a very upset belly add carrots :)

when the squash starts to look mushy and a different color in the middle its ready

drain the pasta

add the pasta into blender

add the squash and the left over water into blender

PUREE!

add more filtered water if you would like the puree to be less heavy

this recipe will keep your baby full and feel somewhat better.

I made about 3 servings for my 10 month old with this recipe.

this is not a treatment for any illnesses just a remedy for an upset stomach.

Tummy Virus Home Remedy for Babies!

WOW! so my 9 month old caught a virus and could not stop vomiting with the runs. Because of her age, doctors can only prescribe fluids and probiotics. I am big on natural remedies, especially when it comes to my baby. As a new mom I really didn't know what to do other than shower her every 20 minutes and force her to drink pedialite. Tip: don't use wipes when baby is with the bubble guts.

With 5 days already being sick, I needed to do something! My mother in law made her plantain soup. She ate it for about 2 feedings and you can already see the improvement. The next day she was completely cured of the runs. If your child has never had plantains or is allergic I definitely do not permit. Here is the quick recipe.

Boil 2 ripe plantains in a 1 1/2 cup of water for about 30 minutes then BLEND!

THATS IT!

this recipe will give you about 4-6 servings depending on how much your baby eats.

Still continue with fluids and always monitor baby's temperature.

Note: on the second day I mixed the plantain soup with baby pasta.

Try to give the baby soda crackers throughout the day to keep the food down.

Hope this will help all mommys in desperate times 

of sick little ones.

Packing Your Hospital Bag

Packing your hospital bag while pregnant is definitely overwhelming. You're thinking about so many things like I'm about to be a mom, how will labor be, when is my baby coming, is the nursery perfect, am I missing anything, and the worries go on.

Once you hit that 37 week marker, you should have you bag ready to go. A good size bag to bring is a tiny luggage. The wheels are convenient to pull around if in case you will be headed to the hospital alone.
