Odds are you've stumbled across this video, because either your little one is sick or has been sick. It's not easy dealing with a sick baby or toddler. When your baby has a cold or your baby has the flu it can be quite difficult on you as a parent. Especially with the cold and flu. That's because they don't usually medicate viruses. So what options do you have? How do you survive it? And how do you beat it, fast? I got you. I've had my fair share of experiences with viral infections and it's taught me A LOT about how to deal with it, but also how to get rid of it ASAP. The last thing anyone wants is to be trapped at home for over a week with a sick baby.
During this time your baby may not be feeling hungry and that's totally normal. Don't be surprised if they stick to liquids at this point. I mention bone broth in this video. Have any of you had success with that? I find that my son is willing to drink it, so I feel at ease knowing he's getting the iron and I like that it can be used in many recipes once he's all better too.
Straight to the information!

Okay, now let's recap the advice. Here's the short list of it:
1. Deal with nasal issues (congestion, runny nose and dry nose)
- steam irrigation
- saline drops

2. Elevate their crib or bassinet. I use this wedge with my son:

4.Hydrate them with BM/Formula. After 6 months, you can try coconut water or pedialyte
5. Make Bone Broth to heal their sore throat and increase their iron. Why does that matter? Iron is key to immune function.

6. Manage pain and fever and take their temperature properly.
7. Disinfect everything. If they have hand foot and mouth disease then you need to use bleach.
8. Try a detox bath to help ward off bacteria and germs as well as add moisture to the skin to prevent itch.
9. Run everything through the dishwasher to sterilize everything. Use the sanitary cycle in the wash
10. Offer cold foods to help with sores in the mouth. And check their diet. Low nutrient diets leads to weak immunity.

11. Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands, brush their teeth and sanitize.
