One important consideration when dealing with nappy rash (prevention) is diet, the level of acid in a baby's diet over the dominance of alkalinity can have a very positive effect on the likelihood that a baby will experience nappy rash or eczema. There are expensive "green foods" that are promoted for both adults and babies. The very good ones, such as wheatgrass and dried powder drinks that are a little cheaper, for the amount of alkaline fluid you will obtain, but these are still an expensive option if you are on a budget. Essentially any dark or indeed any green organic matter, whether leaves, stems or 'flowers' (e.g. cauliflower) can be a starting point for bringing the right foodstuff into the diet. The best vegetation to buy from a freshness and cost point of view is frozen. Iceland are incredibly cheap in this respect. The frozen green vegetables that we would recommend are spinach, broccoli, broad beans and as a last resort peas. The frozen vegetables should be left to defrost at room temperature. As soon as they have defrosted (this should take about a three hours) they should be made into a paste using a blending machine. At this point you might wish to add some other healthy ingredients to the green paste and this might include garlic or ginger, both of which are very good for babies immune systems. So now you have your healthy paste made up it is important to turn it into a form that can be easily accessed. You need to find some small containers that can be safely frozen. The best ones we have found are ice cube trays which can be easily sterilised. Our top tip here is to freeze perhaps 10 of these at a time laid out individually on a freezer shelf. Once the paste is frozen you can stack the containers on top of one another without fear that they will stick to each other. What we now do when we come to use one of these in a babies meal is we take perhaps three amounts of paste out of the freezer at one time and place it in the fridge. then simply add it to the babies meal (in the blender) as you make it yourself. Clearly the assumption here is that you are making your own babies meals, if you are not you may simply wish to feed your baby defrosted green paste between mouthfuls of the manufactured food you are giving the baby. The main thing is that when the food is in the babies stomach, that the overall blend of food is alkaline. The inclusion of the green food will go a long way to counterbalancing the acids found in meat, some starchy foods and sweet foods. Each child will of course vary in tolerance to 'green foods' depending on the weight of the baby and cultural differences in the food they eat every day.
