Children's Health

While there are many children who have an extremely healthy appetite, the opposite end of the scale are children, especially in the younger age group, who 'never' seem to eat. These children are typically very picky eaters and have poor appetites. They frequently need to be begged or bribed to eat even the smallest morsel.

Colic is one of those conditions that affect babies - one that just doesn’t seem fair. Your baby is so very new to this big world and what an introduction to life! Medically speaking, colic is defined as crying for more than three hours a day, three days per week, for longer than three weeks in an otherwise happy and healthy baby.

Children, like many adults, sometimes have difficulty falling asleep. Sleep problems are a very common problem that parents face in today’s hectic lifestyle. Very often sleep problems become chronic and are cause for concern. We all know that sleep is essential for a child’s overall health and well-being and that it allows the body to rest and function at an optimal level the following day. Lack of sleep not only comprises the immune system, but is also believed to affect growth.
