I know, I know. I have done everything wrong so far.
I eat fast food at least once a day. I work and I am exeptionally busy. I am breastfeeding but I have to pump during the day so he doesn't get it from the tap. I got talked into my son's 2 month vaxes. He is in daycare. I have given him Advil and Tylenol and showers when he has had a fever per ped's orders. I know its my fault.
He has been sick every week for the past 6 weeks. He is only 4 months old.
I am starting to think that he doesn't know what it is like to not be sick.
My ped says I just have to live with it and treat the symptoms because he is in daycare. I can't quit my job, I am the steady income. I can't live with that. I can't accept that my baby is just going to be sick forever.
Right now he has an awful cough. I haven't given him anything for it. He went to the doc the other day and they said it was just a cold. So I have been keeping him warm and nursing him and trying to keep his stimulation low. Hopefully it will work and he will come out of this without needing antibiotics.
What can I do? I know there are books out there but I am just so overwhelmed. I have bought some organic things and put them in the fridge but I end up getting something quicker because we are on the go a lot so this week it has been like 75% crappy diet 25% good diet. Its a start, I know, but I want to do a complete change.
I want my diet to be better. I want my son to be healthy. I want to kick the tylenol and advil out the door and help him in natural ways. But I don't know where to start. Most of the stuff I read about (echinacea, etc.) you can't really give babies, right? Please help!!
