= High fever among infants can be controlled by rubbing their heads gently with a little ghee at regular intervals. This will reduce the temperature of the child and you can carry the child to the nearest nursing home or hospital for treatment.
= While give Head bath with shampoo to your grandchildren, apply a line of Vaseline just above the eyes of the child to keep away the shampoo and water dripping into the eyes of the child.
= It is recommended to use dropper rather than a spoon to give liquid medicines or tonics to infants. This is easier and less messy.
= When you are trying to pass thorough a large crowd with a child, it is always better to keep the child to your left. The crowd from the opposite direction may or may hold the children to their left side. This will help to reduce the pressure to the child and you can pass through the crowded place with lesser time .
