SALT IN YOUR SOCK AND OTHER TRIED-AND-TRUE HOME REMEDIES
Author: Lillian M. Beard, M.D. with Linda Lee Small
Publisher/Manufacturer: Three Rivers Press
As any new parent knows, each week brings exciting new milestones in your baby's growth and development. Along with these changes come the challenges of treating various ailments that can affect your child-from colds, to gas, teething, colic, fever, and fussiness. Salt in Your Sock, written by veteran pediatrician and Your Baby Today contributor Lillian Beard, is an excellent reference guide for parents interested in natural remedies.
The book starts off with a list of everything you’ll want to stock up on for your new "medicine" cabinet. (Chances are you already have many of these items, such as garlic, yogurt, oatmeal, and black tea bags). The book goes on to include parent-tested folk remedies for more than 90 childhood ailments, among them: using cornstarch to treat rashes, meat tenderizer for bug bites, and warmed salt to soothe earaches.
