Fast forward a few years to after we were married and our first little one came along. He was prone to ear infections and had super sensitive skin. The antibiotics for the ear infections and the steroid cream for his eczema were constants in our home. I kept researching and experimenting with herbs and essential oils, becoming aware of the ingredients in our soaps and lotions, as well as tweaking our diets with real and whole food choices, and we soon found that the antibiotics could be reserved for bigger illnesses and we could cut out altogether the steroid cream (on our 18 month old!).
In fact, as time went by, we realized that our well visits spectacularly outnumbered our sick visits to our family doctor, even though our family was rapidly growing. Friends jokingly referred to me as a witch doctor but began calling more and more with questions about how would we handle 'x' issue.
We found we'd accumulated a solid base of knowledge and it was working. Despite the raised eyebrows and joking words, we continued on. We were now out on a limb by ourselves in a lot of ways. It was frustrating and discouraging in ways, but rewarding in others (namely the certainty that we were doing the best we knew how in seeing to our self-care and caring of our growing family).
We're still on that road. We've still much to learn. Our journey is no where near complete.
