Sickness

So, my little man is SICK! For the first time! (Boooo!), but I can't complain, the guy was born during flu season and this is the first time he's been sick! I decided to put my faith in some natural remedies, try it out and see if they work, and guess what? He is on the mend! This is what we did:
-Colloidal Silver, 1/2 tsp a few times a day
-garlic. Because I'm still breastfeeding I thought perhaps if I took the garlic straight, it would get to him through my milk. First I made a batch of homemade mashed potatoes. Then I took a small spoonful, and slipped a fresh, crushed garlic clove into it. I actually cut the clove in half, because I have a hard time swallowing big things.
-I have had about 16 oz of kefir for the last 2 days-again, hoping it goes into my milk for lil guy.

Anyway, little guy was up almost the whole night 2 nights ago, and at least 3 times per night for about 5 nights before that. Last night, he got up twice, but the second time was only cause he was congested. My hubby made a homemade saline solution and cleared his nasal passages, and he went right back to sleep.

He also hasn't been napping because he's been so uncomfortable, and I just went into my bedroom where he was playing, and he was passed out on the floor. :) Cute! Anywho, I think I will keep this colloidal silver on hand and keep the garlic comin. How cool is that! No trip to the doctor and NO ANTIBIOTICS! Woo Hoo!!!
