For a bad cough:

Before bed:
Put Vick's Vapor Rub on their feet.
Put socks on top of the VVR and their feet.

They will not be coughing all night. Even bad coughs. I have read about this and heard from students that it works. Ask Karen Knox...she should know!!!

Steaming helps loosen up all the flem and cold in their chest. Turn the shower on hot and fill the bathroom up with steam. Sit in the bathroom with the baby while the bathroom steams up. You can also buy steamers at walgreens. People use them for facials, but you can use it for colds.

I put honey in my kids milk when they are sick for extra immunities. It soothes the throat too.

For a head full of congestion I give my kids two baths a day to give them a steam treatment.

warm juice (apple)....anything to drink that is cold is hard on the system, try lemon water and warm juice

vick's rub like Christa said is awesome too--put it on their chest and neck before bed too

LOVE! Hope everyone gets better!
