Banana for a splinter...alternative herbal remedies for Babies & Kids

Here is a great article on one of my favorite sites, Safbaby.com. 

Time to get comfortable using alternative methods to help you Baby or Child when they are in discomfort. Wouldn't it be nice to have your own alternative medicine cabinet? I know my husband and I have really come to like Chamomile. We also found some great salve called Healing Salve (Herbally Grounded, Las Vegas) which has Plantain, Comfrey, Olive Oil and Bees Wax. No worries if your little one ingests a little either. We use this salve on diaper rashes, scratches, even when we have a "boo boo."

For all you out there who would like to have more an alternative approach to helping your child through a stuffy nose, colic, teething and even getting a splinter out, here is a great article with a great book recommendation for you and your babysitter!  Click here

If you know me or you are my delivery truck driver, you know I love love love Diapers.com. This is why I have added them to "sister approved" affiliates. You can know click on the banner (to the left) and it will take you directly to Diapers.com. Plus, this mom gets a cool % on anything that is purchased. Try it out and you will be hooked. 

You can get ANYTHING for baby there. I have checked and most of their prices are right on with Baby R Us, Target or cheaper. I have found  Amazon sometimes beats their price but you also have to wait longer for shipping with Amazon. I love Diapers.com. Forward onto any Mom or Dad. Once you have placed a few orders, it automatically generates you past products so you do not have to search the next time. I get my order placed within seconds.

FYI: Sometimes I even get delivery NEXT DAY! It is so great. No driving to get stuff and they have great sales. Check back often, because I will be posting when they happen!

Cheers to easy and fast shopping!!
