The Water Cure does state that a small amount of Celtic Sea Salt should be included, electrolytes eh! IIUC Bronwyn states her baby is 6 and a half months old and taking solids, that is why I suggested water and checking out The Water Cure. Otherwise I would agree with you regarding exclusive breast feeding and water not being necessary. IMO solids are not the best to introduce to young babies before 12 months at the earliest, although Nature always provides variations. :) Cathy,

A baby this young needs to feed big and regularly on breast milk alone, even in hot weather, its the mother that needs to drink plenty of water. Also during my early days of breast feeding I found straight up water ( room temp ) useless, could never get enough to satisfy me and spent most of the time on the toilet ( especially annoying through the night ) ! Soon as I took Sally's advice by adding a little celtic salt or lemon juice to my water I finaly got satisfaction. My water needs dropped by at least %50 and I felt satisfied and hydrated. Personally I find plain water a waste. Nepal

They sell online www.fromart.com.au and the nutrients you get which are easily assimilated and dence work out to be great value for money! For under $39 kg, this raw cheese is as delicious as nutritious, I wish I'd come by it much earlier like while I was pregnant! Bronwyn

I may have got it wrong, is your baby 2 months old? Here goes anyway.......... What ever is happening to your baby is connected to your diet and can be corrected by what YOU eat.YOU should take the probiotics ( 2 or 3 times daily ) and cod liver oil ( green pastures fermented a winner ) yourself and eat soft eggs every day. You may only need to make a few simple changes to your diet and you'll be both well on your way. Coconut cream can be tricky. Coconut virgin oil is great but often causes diarrhoea in my daughter via my breast milk and she is three! I have to be light on the oil or 10 hours later water poo! Try fermenting your milk with kefir and preferably raw milk. Don't eat processed dairy unless its top quality yogurt ( no milk solids or sugar added ) or fermented into kefir. Learn how to make your own sauerkraut to eat with most meals aiding digestion for better nutrient absorbtion. Don't eat nuts that haven't been soaked. Raw un soaked almonds gave my daughter really bad colic. Use celtic salt or other unprocessed salt not conventional salt. Get Sally's Nourishing Traditions, you can buy online from Nourished Mag, this was the best thing I even did for my daughter and myself, my breast milk became much more satisfying for Nina and her sleeping got better especially when I started raw milk kefir, ate rich bone broth and liver. Equally important I got my skin glow & strenth back and could sit up straight again! Also don't use soap when you wash your baby or find very mild soap with no glycerine, this really aggrivates and skin problems for baby and strips beneficial natural skin oil. You can use organic olive oil with tiny lavender drops ( make up 200 ml oil with roughly 15 drops lavender ) to be used on face washer ( washed in mild detergent like Herbon ) to clean babies bottom. Biggest one of all is to sort out your diet and breastfeed exclusively for a while longer. Most feed exclusively till 6 months. Some bigger babies need solids a bit earlier but never before 3 months.

Both are very high in fructose, fibre and sorbitol and arent well digested by infants, causing loose stools and diarrhoea and malabsorption. check the probiotic contains a strain specific for infants and preferably the one for eczema (lactobacillus rhamnosus GG - make sure it says GG as that is the specific strain that in *some* studies reduced eczema occurrence). Inner health do it in australia as 'eczema shield' but Im sure in the states and europe there are others also. Im sure you have probably checked for whether its a reaction to cleaning products etc, even natural ones can cause issues so rotate what you use on bedsheets etc. Minced lamb, parsnip and coconut cream is a good easy to digest mix ( i know sounds kinda gross). They are also low allergenic. Try however to make breast milk the main food. If the eczema is not severe dont stress too much, kids can react to all sorts of things and stressing about it is not going to help. If its more severe or getting worse over time try eliminating foods from your diet if you are breastfeeding that may be causing problems e.g wheat, soy, nuts etc. If in doubt see your preferred practitioner.

I am currently giving her 2ml cod liver oil, probiotics, liquid zinc and she has been fully breastfed but is now so interested in food that she is having my organic chicken liver pate and some pureed apple prune and coconut cream. I am hesitant to introduce egg yolk. I suspect it is due to toxicity and food intolerances passed from breastmilk but if you can add anything I would love to hear it I cannot find how to ask Sally a question so I hope this is OK - do you have any further suggestions for a 61/2 month old baby with eczema and horribly generalised itchy skin.
