by

vaporubDid 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
  • Essie Spa Pedicure Mini Kit

    I love to snuggle with my kids when they are sick. Its about the only time I get to anymore.

    I rub Vick’s Vapor Rub on the bottom of my feet at the first sign of a cold. I don’t know if it’s an old wives tale or mind over matter kind of thing but it seems to stop a cold in its tracks!!

    OK, this one is funny, but my husband swears by it. Whenever you get a bad cold apply Vicks VapoRub to your neck and wrap your neck in a (clean) white knee sock and fasten. Go to bed with as many covers as possible and sweat it out. Who am I to argue if it works?

    I take the kids out on the porch swing in the middle of the night to breathe the cold night air to soothe their coughs. All wrapped up in down comforters and cozied up together- It makes everyone feel better.

    I am passing on the tradition of getting in bed with drink and tissues nearby. Cozy up with favorite quilt. Then watching old black/white movies. My 2 year already loves to cuddle up with me to watch comfort movies when he feels sick. Just loving each other and sharing each others space to feel good!

    I always make them a bed on the couch with their blankets and pillows. I stay in my jammies with them and snuggle with books and cartoons!

    when me or a family member has a cold with a fever, I will rub Vicks Vapo Rub on the bottom of our feet and it gets rid of the fever.

    I have you added to my blog, too.

    Whenever my daughter comes down with a nasty cold or flu, we all take a teaspoon of sugar, crawl into our bed, and let our daughter watch t.v. (rare!) with us until she is groggy. I love it because she snuggles up next to either her dad or I and the sound of her breathe just comforts us. We also keep a humidifier in her room to combat the dry nose syndrome.
