Information Booklet
BABY FART AEROBICS
And Other Natural Treatments for Colicky Babies
This DVD contains as much information as a book. So don't be surprised if it's too much to absorb in one sitting. Feel free to watch this DVD in sections, over a period of several days, if you prefer. You may find it easier to take in all the valuable information that way.
Also, we've set up the MENU so that you can quickly get to the topic you need most, right away. Or, you can use it like a reference book and come back repeatedly for specific information on the different topics available.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral therapy can help with or relieve: Colic, projectile vomiting, developmental or coordination problems, headaches, vision problems, blocked tear ducts, abnormal feet, legs or walking, sleeping problems, after a fall or jarring accident, etc.
To find a craniosacral therapist in your area, go to:
- www.upledger.com
- specify a practitioner trained in Craniosacral Level II or higher, and Visceral Manipulation.
BREASTFEEDING
Potential Food Irritants
You may want to avoid eating the following (as they go through to baby via breastmilk):
- Dairy (60% of those allergic to dairy are also allergic to soy), wheat
- Alcohol, caffeine, preservatives (very irritating)
- Spicy food, chillies
- Acidic fruits and vegetables (tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, etc.)
- Garlic (powdered causes less gas then fresh)
- Cruciferous vegetables; broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, etc. cause a lot of gas
Test foods using elimination trials; it takes 10 days to completely clear a food from breastmilk, thus, 3 weeks is a good trial duration.
Probiotics
Breastfeeding moms should take Natren brand Healthy Trinity (acidophilus, bifidum & bulgaricus bacteria) once per day. See bottle for dosage guidelines.
If baby is colicky, or has stool irregularities, or has a bacterial infection (vomiting or diarrhea), then supplement baby with Natren's Life Start probiotic (B. infantis bacteria). Give 1/8 teaspoon twice per day for colic or bowel movement problems and six times per day during vomiting or diarrhea. You can let baby suck the probiotic powder off your finger, or, mix it with some breastmilk, water or formula (if formula feeding) and give to baby via a dropper or a bottle. Do not give a breastfeeding/bottle feeding baby adult strains of probiotics.
Once baby is eating solid foods, you can supplement with Natren's Healthy Trinity adult strain probiotics (acidophilus, bifidum & bulgaricus bacteria), 1/4 tsp. (powder form) once per day, on an empty stomach, mixed in water, breast milk, formula, or non-acidic juice like apple or pear.
Remember to ALWAYS follow antibiotics with probiotics, for babies, children and adults. For more information on dosage instructions or to purchase probiotics go to: www.HolisticHealthShoppe.com
Problems Breastfeeding? If you're having problems breastfeeding, or with milk supply, etc., please don't give up. Go to a La Leche League meeting in your area (there are chapters worldwide) and get some help/ideas or referrals to experts. You can also visit their website for info and articles at www.lalecheleague.org
If you cannot breastfeed, then find out what you need to add to baby's formula to provide adequate nutrition:
- Go to www.mercola.com and type in "Infant Formula Fortification Protocol"
- Or buy the book, Super Immunity for Kids, by Leo Galland, MD
Traveling or Whilst Baby's Sick
Breastfeeding is an excellent delivery method for healing supplements if your baby is sick, or if you're traveling (to prevent baby getting sick). Mother should take:
- Natren brand Healthy Trinity (acidophilus, bifidum & bulgaricus bacteria), 1/2 tsp. of each (or 1 capsule), 20 minutes before breakfast and again right before bed on an empty stomach. www.HolisticHealthShoppe.com
- 4000-6000 mg Vitamin C in mineral ascorbate form (eg. Calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, etc.). Emergen-C is a great tasting drink with 1000 mg Vitamin C per packet, in mineral ascorbate form.
