Cough Drops for Kids

Got a little one with a cough? I really like these. It’s like a cough drop but presented as a “sucker”. It says ages 3+ but I think it’s more on the level of the child. They need to suck it vs biting it. We first got these a few years ago when our eldest was 4 and he didn’t really get it. At 5, he got it. Really helps or at least makes momma feel like she’s doing something to help soothe her baby’s throat.

Kids mean germs. Cut down on them with this simple trick.

Let me know how it works out!

Here's a trick to cut down on your child's bandaid remorse
