Oat Milk Bath for Babies with Eczema
Many babies struggle with eczema, especially during their first year of life. It can have many causes — some of which you can read about here. Simply caring for the skin is often not enough to get rid of eczema, as its source often lies in the gut. A common culprit turns out to be milk — even the milk consumed by a breastfeeding mother (this was the case with my six-month-old son). When I eliminated dairy from my diet and used an oat-based therapy, his eczema disappeared within a few days. Today, I’ll show you how to make a gentle oat milk bath for your little one. It’s a…

Postpartum Essentials: 8 Must-Have Items for New Moms
When I was pregnant with my first child, I devoured YouTube videos about everything I “absolutely” needed for the baby. Some advice was useful, some not so much. Like many first-time parents, we ended up buying plenty of items we barely used. Over time, I realized that a few key products and solutions can make the first months of motherhood much more manageable. The postpartum period is physically and emotionally demanding, and it’s the little things that truly make life easier. After a baby arrives, parents are often showered with gifts—clothes, blankets, toys. While cute, many of these items aren’t practical for daily life. Fancy outfits, iron-required shirts, or tiny…

Homemade Oat Moisturizer for Eczema Relief
Eczema can be a challenging skin condition that requires loving care and attention. I understand how distressing it can be, especially when trying to find products that truly help. Research indicates that creams with 1% colloidal oatmeal can offer relief for those struggling with eczema. While it’s easy to find ready-made options on store shelves, I’d like to share why creating your own cream at home can be a more beneficial choice. Many commercial products do contain helpful ingredients, but they often also include synthetic preservatives like phenoxyethanol, which can aggravate sensitive skin—especially for those dealing with eczema. I certainly recognize the role of preservatives in product effectiveness, particularly natural…

6 Harmful Chemicals to Avoid in Baby Care Products
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It acts as a barrier that protects us from the outside world. It’s no wonder that what we apply to our skin can significantly affect our health. Many chemicals present in cosmetics can penetrate the skin, causing both internal and external issues. When it comes to baby care, it is especially important to avoid ingredients known for their aggressiveness. A baby’s skin is particularly delicate and much thinner than that of an adult, making it more susceptible to irritation. Therefore, choosing safe care products is a key task for every parent or caregiver. When a baby is born, it is…

How to Make a Natural Orange Peel Cleaning Spray That Smells Amazing and Actually Works
Orange season is in full swing uicy, sweet oranges are tempting in every store. At our house, they disappear by the kilo – the kids absolutely love them. But what to do with all those peels? For a long time, I simply threw them away, usually into the compost bin. Until one day I visited my friend Sandra – a true treasure trove of natural living wisdom. A homemade spray straight from a jar Sandra showed me a jar filled with orange peels soaked in vinegar. “This is my countertop and sink cleaner – it works great and smells amazing!” she said. I had tried cleaning with vinegar before, but…

Healing Honey Balm for Everything!
Today I have something special for you! The idea to create this natural eczema ointment came completely by accident. Nevertheless, it turned out to be a well-researched and documented remedy for various skin problems. One day, while browsing I came across an article about eczema. The author referenced an interesting study on the effectiveness of an ointment made with olive oil, honey, and beeswax in treating skin lesions. The study used the ingredients in a 1:1:1 ratio, so – as an enthusiastic fan of natural cosmetics – I promptly decided to recreate this recipe. That same day, I got to work, but the final result turned out as hard as…

Eczema Relief: 9 Natural, Scientifically Proven Ways to Heal
Eczema is a challenge that many young children face. It’s understandable that parents often turn to online communities for recommendations on creams and ointments that promise relief. However, managing eczema can be a more intricate process than simply using topical treatments. It’s important to recognize that eczema is not just a skin condition; it may signal deeper issues within the body. Our skin can often serve as a mirror to our internal health, reflecting imbalances that may relate to our immune system or gut health. Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is one of the most prevalent inflammatory skin conditions affecting children. Its emergence is often linked to abnormal immune reactions to various…

How We Treat the Flu in Our Kids Naturally
I’m writing this post during a special moment—we’ve just recovered from the flu, and for me, it was the hardest one I’ve ever experienced. As usual, our children handled it much better. Their illness lasted only two days, during which they slept a lot and had a mild fever. My eldest son is now four years old and has never taken any medication, while my younger son has had antibiotics only once. From the beginning, we have chosen to treat them naturally, using herbs, homeopathy, vitamins, and a health-supporting diet. When I was a child, every infection meant antibiotics and syrups from the doctor, along with sweets from family members…

Aromatherapy During Pregnancy and Postpartum
If you read my blog regularly, you know how important it is to avoid artificial fragrances at home, especially during pregnancy. If this is your first time here, I invite you to check out my previous post, where I discuss this topic in detail. Aromatherapy, which uses concentrated plant essential oils, can be quite controversial during pregnancy. The main reason for this is that conducting medical experiments on pregnant women is considered unethical. Consequently, most research relies on observations made on animals. While essential oils can offer numerous benefits, some studies indicate that certain oils may have toxic effects on the reproductive system. Therefore, it is essential to use essential…
