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.

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

    Cuddle up in a warm comforter, have some good soup and watch funny movies; it always seems to help. Thank you!

    I get plenty of rest, lots of orange juice, and hot lemon and honey tea then I rub my chest down with Vicks at night and stay under the covers. My mother used to give us caster oil every weekend when we were youngsters. Nasty stuff, but works to keeps colds and flu away.

    I rub down the sick family member with Vicks vaporub and of course I have to make some hot lemon & tea with sugar to soothe their throat.

    I prefer to stay in bed and sleep as much as I can or watch TV. I also love raisin bread toast and a cup of tea with lemon.

    Fix chicken soup and watch tv! Then when they start feeling better – get them some real food!
    Thanks

    I make a pot of homemade chicken soup and rub Vicks Vaporub on our chests, before we go to bed at night. The vicks really does help. My mother use to use it on me when I was a child, too, and I always felt better in the morning. Thanks for having the contest!

    Please enter me in this wonderful gaveaway. I use this now because our family has alergies and Vicks works great, especially at night. It helps everyone sleep peacefully without coughing all night. Thank you.

    My dad was a great caregiver when I would get ill as a child, and he always believed in Vicks VapoRub for colds and flu. He would rub it on our chests and backs, and on our feet and hands, and cover our feet with his work socks. He’d also warm Dr. Pepper on the stove and serve it in a mug with lemon slices, and it did help relieve a sore throat and clogged bronchial airways. I have followed his lead in caring for my own children. Whatever the remedy, the love and the compassion that is used to serve it up is most important.

    I am new to having a family but before i just loved to sleep when i was sick or if i couldn’t sleep i’d pop in some dvds to keep my mind occupied.

  26. Helen

    We wash the sheets, pajamas daily to help them feel better. Cozy up under the blankets and put on a favorite movie. Eat loads of soup in a favorite bowl and drink a lot of orange juice.

  27. Michelle H.

    I give my children plenty of juice or popsicles and I give the younger ones lots of cuddling.

    Comfort around here means really soft sheets and a cool washcloth, as well as something to drink and some entertainment.
