How to brew a series for a newborn?

There are at least two options for preparing a preventive bath with herbal infusion for a newborn child:

using the finished concentrate
self -manufacture of a decoction or infusion from raw materials

The first solution will become the simplest and fastest, since it only requires to measure the right number of capacities of the solution according to the instructions on the package and add it to the children's bath with water.

But the regular use of a series of bathing can cost a penny, since the finished concentrate is significantly more expensive than dry grass, and the consumption of the product is large, especially if the child was literally released in a large bath.

In this case, it is advisable to buy a crushed raw material in a pharmacy (scattering or in bags). There are a lot of herbs, but it is much cheaper. More than half of the standard pack will go to one bathing session in the baby bath.

Method number 1

3 tbsp. or 4 bags in the pan
pour a glass of water
heat in a water bath for 15 minutes
cool
strain
bring with boiled water to a volume of 1 cup

When preparing a series in this way, a decoction can be added to the bath immediately. Consumption - 1 cup per 10 liters of baths.

Important: a standard bath holds an average of 30-40 liters of water, a large bath-140 liters.

Method number 2

1 cup of dry raw materials
pour 1 liter of boiling water
insist
strain (through gauze)
add to a children's bath with water

This method is easier to perform, but it takes time, so you should take care of in advance about the evening ritual of bathing. The infusion prepared in the early morning will be ready for evening water procedures.
