• Go holiday or go for a Babymoon to indulge yourself in a happy mood. Babymoon by definition is a romantic getaway during your pregnancy.

Healthy baby is a dream for parents-to-be. It is important for a couple or parents-to-be to prepare their body to be healthy before conception. Back to 9 years ago, I looked for an answer why I couldn’t conceive after one year of marriage. I found  “Healthy Parents, Better Babies”, a couple’s guide to natural preconception health care book. The book helped me to understand the nutrition, health supplements, herbal remedies, natural therapies, infertility and problems in health reproduction. I and my husband followed some of the advice, taking herbal remedies for improvement in our health reproduction and detoxifying our body before conception. To our surprise, I conceived within few months and gave birth to a healthy baby. The Gynae didn’t believe that a petite lady like me could give birth to a healthy baby of 3.26 kg. It is advisable that you should distance the next conception 2 or 3 years after delivery of your baby so that your body can rebuild enough nutrition for another fetus. 3 years later, I gave birth to another baby 3.35 kg.

For a couple or parents-to-be who wish to have a healthy and better baby or look for an answer to infertility problem, I recommend you to read  “ Healthy Parents, Better Babies”, a couple’s guide to natural preconception health care. This book is a guide and resources for parents-to-be for natural conception. Though, I don’t plan for having more babies, this book is still good health resources for moms like me to understand the health care and nutrition for women and women problems like PMS, breast lumps etc. 

Please take a look at Natural Preconception books authored by Francesca Naish, naturopath and herbalish from Australia clinic and Janette Roberts, pharmacist and  nutritionist who is famous for her work in promoting preconception healthcare.

I’m a learning mama who runs online business, Kidzpuzzle. I have seen the trend that stay at home or work at home moms who start their home based online business think of free hosting blog as their website such as Blogspot.com or WordPress.com. You can’t own your website and you have to use their domain extension blogspot.com or wordpress.com. You choose a good domain name for your online business such as: Kiddies Store.blogspot.com or Green Baby.wordpress.com. You may not know that other people watch what you are doing and steal this domain name for their business. They use the same domain name and go for paid hosting: Kiddies store.com and Green baby.com. By the time you are ready to move your website to paid hosting, you can’t use the same domain name. Other people already use your domain name as their business. Remember that your domain name reflects your business. What if you have spent time for branding your products, you create labels and packaging bearing your business name. Please do register your business before you brand your products. My advice for moms who wish to run home based online business is register your business domain name and host your online business with a Reliable but Affordable Business Class Web Hosting. Your website will be listed in search engine earlier than your competitors. It takes time to climb the rank in search engine. The earlier you start, the higher rank your website will be in search engine.  I hope this sharing will benefit as learning resources for stay at home or work at home moms who wish to run home based online business.

Please note that this is not a professional advice but I share my experiences as a learning mama whose kids who often catch common cold.  I hope my tips for kids with common cold can be resources for other moms. Common cold is a very common mild infection affecting nose and throat. However, if common cold is not treated early, it will lead to severe infection and complications such as bronchitis, pneumonia or asthma. My youngest kid was hospitalized once due to bronchitis. So, I try my best that it will not happen again.

When your kids attend pre-school or kindergarten, they will get common cold frequently. I can’t protect my kids catching cold from other kids, so I treat the common cold as early as possible when the symptoms show up. I’m using some herbal or home remedies for my kids and family with common colds. Some herbal remedies used in our food or kitchen are known for their antibacterial and antiviral properties

Ginger. I brew ginger herbal tea for 15 minutes or more and add honey to disguise the slightly hot taste of ginger. I’m using ginger herbal tea, manufactured from Hovid pharmaceutical company. Other than ginger is Folium Mori or Mulberry leaves herbal tea which also works against common cold. You can prepare your own ginger concoction:

• cut ginger into small pieces or slices
• you can add tea if you want
• pour in fresh boiling water and brew for few minutes
• strain or remove the ginger pieces and add honey or rock sugar to sweeten the drink

Garlic & Onion.  It is better to eat them raw to get the benefits but the smell is rather strong. The heat or cooking will take away the good use of garlic as a cure for cold.  Pharmaceutical company like Blackmore or Natural Factor have produced garlic tablet, garlic oil, garlic capsule from garlic and this makes easier for kids to benefit from garlic. My kids are taking low dosage odourless garlic from Blackmore, recommended for kids 6-12 years old.

Echinacea.  Echinacea Purpurea can treat cold in adults and kids by enhancing the immune system and fight infections. It is available in liquid or tablets. The liquid is rather strong and for a child, 2+. You should dilute the Echinacea liquid with honey and water.

Vitamin C. Low dosage maintenance of vitamin C can prevent common cold and high dosage of vitamin C in short period is to shorten the period of common cold.

Turmeric. I didn’t try this but my friend did. She grounded fresh turmeric root and squeezed the juice ½-1 teaspoon and fed the juice to her child for a relief of sore throat.

Manuka Honey. It is a kind of honey that has antibacterial properties.

Lozenge. It soothes sore throat. You can find lozenge in Manuka honey or Echinacea.

Lo Han Kuo.  Lo Han Kuo is a type of sweet fruit from China. You can make concoction from this fruit and it is  also available in ready made beverage. My kids are taking it for a relief of cough.

Food to abstain during common cold are:

• Dairy products, according to Blackmore Health Bookmark
• Fruits, which may trigger phlegm, advised by Indian doctor
• Chicken, which may cause more allergy for cough, advised by Chinese

I wish my sharing can be  tips for parents or tips for moms to raise Healthy Kids, guard them against common cold. Please participate in sharing your tips at Tips for Moms and Kids and get free giveaway e-book.
