Every time you turn around, there are new inventions to make mom’s life easier. These are great–wish they’d been around when mine were little. Here’s another trick to try when your son is older and may have to take yukky medicine that doesn’t come in a strip. Try the “rinse and spit” method. Have a glass of cold water ready. Tell the little guy to swallow his medicine fast, and then quickly rinse and spit! It will take the yucky taste out of his mouth so fast, he’ll hardly notice it!

Hi – thanks for your kind comments. For child-proofing I always make sure I remove breakables from low tables and shelves and use stair gates and window guards (if feasible).

Great blog by the way

Great tip, as usual. Bring an empty baby bottle and ask the flight attendant to fill it with water for take off and landing or nurse during that time – you should be able to rip off your shirt if you want now, after the recent publicity The sucking helps with ear popping.

For visiting, I always bring my own safety outlet covers when I travel and helpfully install them in my host’s home.

Wanted to thank you for leaving a comment earlier. I’ve never used the thin strips and am wondering how those disolving things work now too. I have used the nightlights and they work great. Sometimes too much and if you are pregnant you really can’t be in the same room but the nightlight runs even after the medicine is out and over with.

How funny! I was in Longs yesterday and I saw the same thing! Girlie Girl has a cough and I feel bad that there really isn’t any cough drops that she can take. This is perfect!

For older kids with a higher body weight Theraflu makes the decongestant strips too with 25 mg of benydryl as opposed to triaminic’s which are half as strong. We never allow the kids pop, except if they need a “yummy strip” then they can chase it down with pop. It makes them look forward to needing medicine!
