>>Net, isn't there some kind of juice that naturally and quickly clears up UTCs? For some reason I'm thinking its cranberry juice.<<
Yes! However, getting it into a four year old is next to impossible. She will do Cran-Apple but it is still a fight.
Plenty of water is actually the best. We have her urinate after baths and swimming. However, taking her sister out of the germ breeding ground of school has done wonders. Daddy came home with a cold and no one got it. I really think that the girls got a chance to build up their immunities without the constant exposure to other sick kids.
For two years (I'm not kidding), someone was always sick. Now it is a joy!
nets, you can get cranberry extract tablets and they taste good too. I have used them with Ryan when I thought he was getting a rash that might have been more yeast like in origin(reddish on the privates) and it cleared right up. I get mine from Kirkman's online, but you can probably get them at a GNC or Hi Health too.
Man, the germy school. I hear you, but I have to say, mine have improved with their immunity SINCE going to school. We had a lot of illnesses the first few months, but since then, they seem to not get things as easily. They both stayed home since birth prior to that though so perhaps they just never really had their systems challenged so we got hammered with it the first few months. I had always heard that the first year of the school is always the worse with getting sick and that has been the case with my children. I still worry though about what they'll bring home to the baby even though they may not catch it. That gives me the willies!
