As moms, we share in our baby's pain. Whether it's teething, sickness or a run-of-the-mill diaper rash, our kid's discomfort is both heart-wrenching and routine-disrupting.

Each year as January comes around, we're hit with the same overwrought message: Eat lighter, fresher, simpler food. Our response is to fill our grocery carts with fruits and veggies, scarcely giving thought to what's in season in our region.

There's nothing to make you feel completely helpless like that first time your baby catches a cold or flu.
