items We all know it’s the season of stuffy noses and nasty coughs. These are some of my recommendations as a mom of three. Ofc check with your pediatrician before using anything and make sure to do what’s best for your baby. Happy healing 😷
Iykyk! This is a staple is my house. I’m a natural girlie and I hate loading my kids up with medicine. Zarbees is a great natural remedy made with honey and agave and some come with elderberry. Works like a charm for nasty coughs.
Cough Products
So I know it says baby but I use this for all of my kids. Ages 1,5,13. Any brand would work, this is just my favorite brand for this. I would recommend throwing them out after each cold/virus. I guess you could keep it but it gives me the ick storing...
Little Remedies® Saline Spray + Drops | Littleremedies
Again, I love natural remedies. My 5 year old uses the Zarbees and my 1 year old uses this. For whatever reason they work differently for each kid. But I guess that’s with anything. It’s also trial and error. This works to dry up the mucus, helps wit...
Hyland's / Baby & Children Cold & Flu Reme...
This is something we all need to have in our med cabinet. This and my other recommendation for fever. For my kids, it’s the only thing that breaks the fever.
Children's MOTRIN® Ibuprofen Liquid Medicine for Fever & Pain
I use this as well for fevers but Motrin is my first choice. I also only used the infant Tylenol for my baby because the doctor told me it’s easier on a baby. But definitely check with your pediatrician.
Children's Tylenol Oral Suspension
Must have! Kids feel so much better when they’re hydrated. My kids like this cold and sometimes frozen.(leave in the freezer for awhile)
Pedialyte
These are good instead of the old fashion cool rag. While that still works, these are great, they work and they don’t fall off.
Be Koool Immediate Cooling Fever Reducing Soft Gel Sheets for Kids
Just buy them lol. I tried to skimp on this and just buy store brand but my kids noses were raw. Definitely worth the extra three dollars.
Puffs Facial Tissues
This in conjunction with the other recommendations will help your little one feel better. Vicks helps my kids breathe so much better especially at night.
Vicks® VapoRub™ Children's Topical Cough Suppressant
I wanted to add some tips for parents. I know a lot of you know this but I wish someone would’ve given me some extra tips. So here they are. Handwashing is number one for preventing spreading germs. Use the antibacterial soap I recommended. Also be s...
Caring for Kids with Colds & Flu: Simple Remedies to Ease Symptoms
I do prefer the other one on my list, however if you’re on a budget this will work just fine. Some kids do fine with this one and others are not having it lol. You know your baby best.
Boncare 10 Seconds Oral Thermometer for Adults and Kids - Accurate & Safe Rectal Thermometer for Baby with Fever Alarm, Digital Thermometer FSA HSA Eligible (Light Blue)
If you can spend and extra $15 this would be my first recommendation. I love the fact that it’s touch free and you don’t need to worry about buying sheaths (covers for the old fashioned thermometer)
