Homeopathy for children and infants book?

[strmis]

Not sure if I'm in the right forum (feel free to move me!) Does anyone have experience with this book? I have ZERO experience with homeopathy, so I'd love to hear what the moms here think about it.  AND, where would one get the homeopathic medicine? How would one know what the good brands are?

I don't know which book you're asking about, but we have Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child by Janet Zand and think it's great. I like that it lays out the options for western medicine, herbs, homeopathy, basic home remedies and acupressure.  It gives you a good start for treating things yourself, as well as educating if you do decide to see a doctor or naturopath.  

We've only used homeopathy with our older DD who is 2.5. She's never had tylenol or any other drug, and homeopathy seems to work wonders with her.  We buy remedies at our local health food store and try to always have our basics on hand.

I have Natural Baby Care or something like that? Never did homeopathy before, and still don't do a lot, but I was very interesting info and gave me a heads up on what to look for in the homeopathic meds that are out there mainstream (Like Hylands, Humphries, Bioron, etc) Also has other 'home remidies' like onion pultice, or lamon water, etc. Got the idea for baby style 'Vics' chest rub using olive oil and tea tree/eucalyptus oil.

I second Caterina's vote for Janet Zand's book.  It is awesome!

Lots of books on the subject on Amazon.  Here are quite a few of them.
