We at Mommy’s Bliss know it’s hard as a parent to see your kids when they aren't their happy selves. Parents want to help soothe their kids but want to make sure they are using solutions and products that are gentle and safe. Here are some tips and natural solutions to help comfort your kids.
1. Rest
Get those ZZZ! Kids' immune systems have to work hard to keep them healthy. In order to let kids’ immune systems recover it is important for them to get enough sleep. Babies may need up to 18 hours of sleep, toddlers and preschoolers between 12 and 13 hours, and grade-schooler 10-11 hours.
2. Humidifier
Try keeping a humidifier running in your child’s room or have them sit in a hot, steamy bathroom for 15 minutes a couple of times a day. Moist air will help open up their air passages, loosen mucus, and soothe a sore throat.
3. Saline Drops
If your child has occasional nasal congestion, saline drops are a common, non-medicated option to clean, moisturize, and soothe your little one’s delicate nasal passages.
4. Hydration
It is important to drink lots of liquids and stay hydrated. If they have occasional diarrhea or vomiting they may become dehydrated quickly. Liquids not only help them stay hydrated, but warm or cold drinks can be comforting.
5. Honey
Honey has traditionally been used to help soothe occasional coughs*. Its thick texture may provide a comforting coating for the throat*. Honey also contains antioxidants. Mommy’s Bliss Organic Kids Cough Syrup & Mucus + Immunity Support, created with herbal extracts and honey, with added elderberry. Honey should only be given to children 12 months of age or older.

Honey should not be given to kids under 12 months of age, but agave can be an option for babies 4 month and older. Try Mommy’s Bliss Organic Baby Cough Syrup. It’s formulated with agave, not honey, along with herbal extracts to soothe dry throats*.
