Did you know that kids can catch six to ten colds year-round?
I’ve never kept track, but that sounds about right. I don’t think there was a single week this past winter when at least one of the kids was feeling under the weather.
Vicks would like to provide one very lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader with a little extra comfort for both mom and child. They’ve put together a “Vicks VapoRub Comfort Care” gift basket valued at $450 filled with Vicks VapoRub along with some other favorite items to make children more comfortable. The basket includes a plush Little Giraffe blanket, classic children’s books and lullaby CDs. And don’t think they forgot about Mom, especially with Mother’s Day a few days away! They’re also including a 100% cashmere wrap, some favorite soothing skincare items from L’Occitane and a manicure/pedicure kit.
For child:
- Vicks VapoRub
- Chenille Blanket
- Soothing lullaby music
- Assortment of children’s books: Corduroy, Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Giving Tree, The Little Prince
For mom:
- Nordstrom Cashmere Sweater Knit Wrap
- L’Occitane Shea La Vie Gift Set and Hand Cream
- Sephora Professional Manicure/Pedicure Nail Kit

With my little kids, we breastfeed for comfort. For my husband? Put him in bedroom with a closed door and keep the small children away. :-)

We snuggle up in jammies, drink lots of fluids, and sometimes watch movies. I always put VaporRub on my kids’ feet, covered with socks, before bed. I swear it’s the best remedy!

My parents always gave us hot Tang to sip when we were feeling down. Extra vitamin C and the warmth felt good on sore throats. Thanks for the giveaway!

I make chicken noodle soup, homemade if I have the time, out of a can if I don’t, and I run the humidifier to help with a stuffy nose, and I slather the “patient” with Vick’s Vaporub to help with coughing. If there’s a sore throat the “patient” gets a popcicle, too, and then sent back to bed to give the body time to heal itself.
