Vicks 1.5 Gallon Vaporizer with Night-Light

goodnightmoon

Cool Features: You can add Vicks medicinal products just above the vapor vent to help make it even more effective. Also, the fact that there are no buttons or settings to deal with is very very nice. It is also an easy size to carry at just 1.5 gallons and the nightlight works well.

When we got home from attending three different family gatherings on Thanksgiving, I removed my son's clothes and I began crying immediately... he had a rash all over his arms and legs starting at his elbows and knees and spreading out.

Ear Infection and Sinus Infection

antibiotics

On my son's last day of preschool he came home with a running nose that quickly turned into green snot. My infant daughter soon after came down with green snot as well. I figured it's likely just a cold because both kids played just fine and the only bother was really me wiping their noses so often. The big question was how long should I wait to find out if it is something worse?

24 Hour Bug

24hourbug

It started with my 7.5 month old daughter Abby. She had had some mango several hours before a car ride... when we got home I was shocked to find that she had projectile vomited all over herself, her car seat, and the back seat (since she is rear facing). How did I not hear her do that...and what the heck is going on?!?

IMHO: Huggies vs Pampers Diapers

Huggies

BACKGROUND: During the middle of November 2010, my son began scratching his lower back/upper buttocks when I put him in the bathtub. My best thought was that he was teething and having a temporary allergic reaction to the Huggies brand diapers that he wears. I decided to purchase a case of Pampers to see if changing brands would help at all.

First Ear Infection

THE BACKGROUND: My son has recently been battling a cold and just as it was getting better it got much worse. I put him down to sleep as usual at 7pm Friday night. At 10:30pm he woke up crying and when I went into his room he was laying down crying, which I thought was odd. I tucked him back in, sang him back to sleep, and then went back to bed. Fifteen minutes later he was awake again and this time inconsolable...

Music Can Be Calming

iTunes Visualizer

Dylan had a GERD until about 6 months old when it began to taper off. We would always encounter at least one bout of colic like crying and being upset every day. When the usual remedies like rocking, walking, nursing didn’t work we tried music.

Your Congested Baby

Dylan BottleFeeding

My son was 8 months old before he was sick for the first time. It was quite the experience and I determined that there are three things you absolutely need when your child is congested. Until your child gets sick or congested you may not realize why these are important.
