Build A Cold and Flu Survival Kit To Get Your Baby Through Sick Season

“We have a Frida baby rectal, when they’re this young, it’s the best way to get accurate reading.”

“We love the Frida Baby rectal thermometer.”

“We have the Frida rectal one! All the classes we took recommended that one for the most accurate readings.”

“I use the Little Remedies brand. 100% recommended saline spray!”

“The little remedies drops worked great for my baby! I found the drops were easier to get in I think the spray startled him a little bit.”

“I used the little remedies spray nightly with my little guy to help flush down anything from his reflux, his dr told me to. I use it as a dropper instead of a spray, I just drop a couple drops in each side, he doesn’t like it but I know it makes him feel better, I let it sit like a minute or two, then I use the nose Frida to get anything out.”

“I use the drops when he’s on his changing pad. Laying flat. I just insert the dropper (it doesn’t go deep, maybe .25cm) and squeeze 1 tiny drop per nostril and just let it roll into his nose. We use little remedies infant and our LO has no issues with it - as in he doesn’t freak out over the drops in his nose.”

“Baby girl had a bad cold a couple weeks ago, and we were sucking snot multiple times a day! It took a minute to get the hang of it, and now I find it oddly satisfying to get a good suck”

“Works amazing, and such a game changer for my 5-month-old ????”

“This thing is a lifesaver!! I’ve been using it since my son was about a month or so… he will be 6 months tomorrow. I love it so much I have bought for all my mom to be friends! BTW, his pediatrician is who recommended it to us.”

I used the nose Frida for my son 11 years ago, it was the ONLY thing powerful enough to actually clear him and he didn’t scream and cry. So it’s been my staple for baby shower gifts and they always look at me like I’m crazy and they’ll never do it. Then I typically get texts thanking me later. Nose Frida is a must!

“The Frida one works best honestly. The one that you have to manually suck with your mouth. I have an electric one too and the Frida one works great. Definitely saline first and it loosens it to come right now.”

“I like the Vicks because it’s cool mist and you can add the Vicks vapor things too it. When my youngest is congested it’s so nice to have that running. I’d probably get another one if this one breaks. I do wish there was something a little smaller but the size keeps me from having to fill it too often.”

“I have been through a few humidifiers! My toddler has the Vicks filter free cool mist ultrasonic one in his room and I love it- it’s pretty easy to clean, holds a lot of water and has different settings that really let you humidify a lot of different size rooms.”

“I also have a Vicks one and it's super easy”

“We have been using the Zarbees Baby Chest Rub. It’s been helping my little boy and he just likes the gentle massage before bedtime too.”

“We use the Zarbees! We love it! And I think it helps! And even if it doesn’t, it smells so good!”

“We use it! On chest back and bottoms of feet. Hard to know but it seems to help.”

“The Zarbees chest rub is 100% at our house, too.”

“After some particularly bad allergy seasons this year, I found the boogie wipes really did work best for crusty noses. The saline really helped quickly break up the snot”

“Boogie wipes are awesome!!”

“Boogie wipes are best for dried mucus or dried boogies.”

“We have used Aquaphor in the past for [chapped nose] and it helped!”

“Aquaphor did wonders for my daughter. Now every time she gets a runny nose I put it on her she never has a rash.”

“Aquaphor for sure. Our son is the constant runny nose kid and this always does the trick.”

“Aquaphor. We use it for everything, but especially when under her nose gets chapped from wiping.”

“They last so long! My 2.5 year old can still wear her size 6-12 month zippies. She is small and the feet covers don’t fit anymore so now they are like a romper. I love them! They are a thinner material though so I hang them dry and do a bamboo load all together.”

“I love them! The material is stretchy so you can reuse for a long time. My son has three sets, just ordered one of the latest Nemo ones too. They have little parts you can fold over to cover feet and hands or leave uncovered. The material is a little light, but still great for summer and spring. I would recommend!”

“Little sleepies last a really long time. My baby can still fit (but probably only for 1-2 more weeks) in his premie size from birth (4 months on Friday). My baby was NOT a premie, born at 6lb 11oz. The sizes run a bit larger and they are super stretchy.”

“I was late to the little sleepies party but I’m obsessed. For starters his eczema has been much better!”

“Little Sleepies are my favorite! I’ve tried a few different brands: Magnetic Me, Posh Peanut, Kickee, Larkspur. Little Sleepies Zippies have the most stretch of those brands. I like the fold over footies so if the babe is longer the feet can stick out. My son is 75th percentile in length and can still wear his 0-3 month size LS. Other brands he’s in the next size.”

“My baby also threw up the first time I tried giving her medicine after her shots. What worked for us is to use pacifier with the medicine dispenser in it and now it’s the only way she takes medicine even though she doesn’t take a paci”

“There’s a special pacifier that you can use to give him meds. That’s how I give him Tylenol. It is from Frida - pacifier baby medicine.”

“My little guy had to take amoxicillin too and he didn’t like the syringe. We got the Frida Baby Medi Frida the Accu-Dose Pacifier Baby Medicine Dispenser from Amazon and it worked much better than the syringe.”

“Use the Frida medicine pacifier with the hole pointed down at the tongue and give really slow.”

“Ugh, colds at this age are so tough. My little one just got over a cold, and it was terrible because she would scream bloody murder if I tried to suck any of it out. She wouldn’t let me. I purchased a homeopathic medicine (natural) for colds for little ones, and it helped her SO much! It’s called ColdCalm Baby, and it comes in pre-measured doses. You can give up to 6 times a day, I believe. It was a lifesaver for us.”

“Was coming here to second ColdCalm !! It’s literally my life saver - I basically give it to my daughter as a preventative now too! It’s soooo helpful.”

“Boiron ColdCalm for babies works AWESOME too for the littles”

“Boiron ColdCalm is ::chefs kiss::”
