When morning came, we were so surprised to see that the suspected mosquito bites spread all over his body including his face. That is when we realized that those were not mosquito bites but chicken pox blisters! So we decided not to send him to school. Since he didn’t have fever, we didn’t go to the doctor for check-up and decided to wait it out. But tonight, he incurred fever that is why I will be bringing him to the doctor tomorrow.

Since he has two siblings, I have asked him to at least keep distance especially with our youngest who is still a baby. He understands about his situation, so he just spent his time watching Discovery channel the whole day.

I think, most of you will agree that prevention is better than cure if we advocate within ourselves a healthy lifestyle. Which reminds me today’s teaching in church; Pastor Bon mentioned about the revival of herbal medicines but in a more improved technology because we can now find Lagundi in capsule. God is truly amazing, he knows what we just need!

Our conversation ended with baby topics, and I wished that I could really lend her my ability to conceive a child (no pun intended), but she’s not losing hope because she’s going through medical procedures to make her dream of having a child possible.

Before you panic, what you need to do is to feel the child’s stomach, if it seems distended, it’s a sign that a child is experiencing gas pain or flatulence.

Bottlefed babies or children tends to swallow large amounts of air and is the usual cause of stomach pain in babies, this can also happen to babies who suck on pacifieers and empty bottles -so mommies watch out! This dilemma is the same as an adult’s experience, air is trapped in the digestive tract that causes the discomfort, unlike adults, we can sit in upright position or induce the air to come out, babies don’t know how to do this and are often lying on their backs most of the time.

A good way to release air from the baby’s tummy is by a gentle massage. Most mommies use eucalyptus oils, however, this is a very strong chemical that may cause the child’s skin to burn. It is advisable to use baby oils instead.

Next is burping the child. After you’ve fed the baby, you can put the baby on an upright position on your shoulder and gently do a backrub, two things might happen; burp or fart.

Last is tummy rolls and baby bends. I have tried this before and it has proved to be effective in several occassions. You must be on a seating position and put the child on your lap and rested on your bossom, gently rub the child’s tummy and gently bend the baby forward. This should squeeze out the air.

Always keep an extra baby towel ready, most of the time they burp with milk.
