It’s that time of year again
Fall is here, which means snotty noses, mysterious rashes and everything in between. I’m no expert but as a mom of two littles, with one of them being in daycare, I feel like we’ve had every sickness in the book. With that being said, I feel more prepared than ever and wanted to share some of my favorite products that have helped my littles get through some sick times along with others that I give them for preventative measures. Again, I’m no doctor but I’m the average mom who has dealt with most of these not so lovely sicknesses that seem to come during this time of year.
Dr. Noze Best Nasal Aspirator - If I could recommend anything, it would be this product. The suction level is unmatched to other products on the market and let’s just say it gets the job done.
Mary Ruth’s Elderberry Liquid Drops - I give these to Blake daily and it helps support his immune system. Perk is that he actually likes the taste! Elderberry is known to fight flu like symptoms and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. I also take these and it gives me that extra immune support during the colder months.
Mary Ruth’s Multivitamin Drops - I give these to Blake daily and it has all the essential nutrients for toddlers. He doesn’t mind the taste so again a win in my book!
Wellements Vitamin D Drops - I gave these to Blake when he was a baby but now give them to Blaire. There are so many benefits to Vitamin D, but it helps promote healthy growth and bone development. I started giving these drops to Blake and Blaire right after they were born.
Canopy Bedside Humidifier - I have this humidifier in both Blake and Blaire’s rooms and it’s worth the hype. Trust me, I think I’ve tried every humidifier on the market, and I have to say this is my all-time favorite. Primarily, because of its mold prevention technology. Most humidifiers I’ve owned have always accumulated mold, but this one does not (the water is absorbed through a filter which needs to be changed every 5-7 weeks). I also love that it can run up to 36 hours on a full tank. This is huge because as a mom we aren’t primarily focused on changing the water in our humidifiers :)
BeKoool Soft Gel Sheets - Unfortunately when that time comes, and your child gets sick these are great for fever discomfort. Keeps Blake cool and stays put until you’re ready to take it off.
Thermal-Aid Bear - Blake loves this bear as a cuddle buddy for when he’s sick, especially when he has earaches. It’s hand washable and actually holds heat. Most heat packs are way too hot to start off with and then they cool off quickly, but this one holds the warmth pretty consistently for over half an hour.
Boogie Vapor Bubble Bath - Use this religiously in the bath when both kids get sick. It helps so much with congestion and has a soothing scent to it.
Boogie Nose Wipes - These come in clutch for whenever we are on the go. Perfect size wipe for runny noses and they are super gentle and soft. They also don’t dry out super easily which is a huge plus!
Touchland Hand Sanitizer and Pouch for us moms - Keep this in my diaper bag and purse. I also have the pouch which can attach to anything and makes for easy access!
Boogie Hand Sanitizer Spray - Use on both kids and no strong scent.
Frida Baby No-Mess Vapor Rub - Use this on both kids and there’s no mess! The applicator makes it so much easier to apply when your kid isn’t feeling well (no sticky hands for mama!)
At the end of the day, we want nothing more than for our kids to be healthy. When that time comes and they do get sick, hopefully some of these products can alleviate stress on you as a mom and make your kids more comfortable. There’s truly nothing worse than seeing your child in pain so the sooner they can feel like themselves again, the better.
