My Favorite Baby Cold Remedy

Keeping sick babies comfortable is a pretty daunting task.

Keeping a sick baby with a runny nose from turning into a miserable wailing mess after a day of wiping their nose is darn near impossible.

And as those babies get bigger and more able-bodied, caring for a runny nosed kid becomes additionally charming as they interpret you pulling a kleenex from the box as the signal to flee.

Before too long, that poor kid is chapped from cheek-to-cheek from all that nose wiping.

When my girl was a toddler and suffering from a cold, I covered her feet with Vick’s Vapo Rub, and on a whim, covered her tender, chapped nose with Lansinoh Lanolin nursing cream.

Yep. Nursing cream.

When she woke up the next morning, the chapped skin around her nose, upper lip, and cheeks had healed overnight.

Now it’s my favorite baby cold remedy. We keep Lansinoh in our medicine cabinet and it’s a regular part of how our entire family relieves this painful cold symptom. No more red noses. No more chapped flaky skin. A lot less misery for everyone involved. It is so good at making my kids feel better the last time my son came down with a cold, he happily stood still so we could put it on his nose.

That kid doesn’t stand still for anything.

If you’re baby has a cold, chances of you getting it are pretty high. If that’s the case and your sore throat and cold get you down. Don’t just “hang in there” and “deal with the pain” Here are 9 proven hot drinks to relieve sore throat pain that anyone can make in less than 10 minutes! Plus sore throat busting smoothies, the best foods to eat with a sore throat, and what you MUST avoid when you have a sore throat.
