Daily Health Tracking Tools for Women & Families (What I Actually Use)
10
items Wearables, at-home health tools, and sick-day essentials I use personally — not medical advice, just what works for our family.
I’m data-driven about health but also realistic about family life. These are the tools I use to track recovery, sleep, cycles, and handle sick days at home — especially with young kids. Nothing here is “extra.” Everything earns its spot.

My #1 Tool for Recovery, Sleep, and Stress Tracking
WHOOP is the health wearable I rely on most. I use it to track sleep quality, recovery, strain, and how stress, workouts, alcohol, or illness actually impact my body — not just how I feel. It’s especially helpful during high-stress seasons and postpa...

The Only Thermometer I Use With Kids

Why it earns its spot:
No contact, no fuss
Accurate and quick
Kid- and parent-approved
Best for: Families with babies, toddlers, or kids who hate traditional thermometers.

The Gross but Life-Saving Sick-Day Tool

Why it earns its spot:
Way more effective than bulbs
Makes breathing (and sleeping) easier fast A sick-day essential for little kids
My kids get a kick out of controlling it
Best for: Parents of babies and toddlers.

Sick Kid Supplies I Always Keep On Hand
From a simple runny nose to the stubborn crusty colds, these saline nose wipes are an absolute game changer. I keep them at home, in the car, in my purse, and in the diaper bag.
Boogie Wipes
I stock these in both cars, our sick kit at home, and the diaper bag. You never know when your kid (or you) might be suddenly sick, and one of the worst moments is when there’s nothing to catch it. Young kids are notoriously bad at aiming their vomit...
Disposable Vomit Bags
Just having the peace of mind that I can test for flu and Covid at home is so great. These are easy to use and help guide my treatment plan.

These are perfect for convincing a sick kid to get some more liquids and electrolytes on board. My kids ask for these even when they aren’t sick. Easy to keep a few in the freezer and the rest on hand to freeze when needed.
Pedialyte Electrolyte Solution Freezer Pops, Variety Pack, Pack of 16
Rather than stock up on liquid Pedialyte, we just keep these at home and in the diaper bag. Easy to mix and well received by even sick kids.
