Allergies

My poor baby has allergies!! I think he's allergic to rag weed which grows plentiful around here! He hasn't been able to breathe out of his nose very well and then stops breathing and then chokes he can't hardly nurse either, and he sounds like a little pug dog!! So I didn't get much sleep last night because he sleeps in our bed and every time he would stop breathing I would wake up wide awake! So tonight were trying some essential oil and so far it's been amazing! we used some deluded lavender and lemon and wow! it was soothing not only for him but for us too and he just looked around smiling and then before we knew it he was out like a light! It was amazing!! Never seen the likes of it before!! And as far as allergies go I have to take 3 table spoons of honey (from bees that are from our area) and elderberry juice (which isn't that bad) so that he can get it in my breast milk! So here we go, hopefully we will all get some sleep tonight!!

so sorry he is having trouble! I am glad you found some stuff that works though! We love local honey and elderberry here! Last winter we went through SO many bottles of that stuff.
