6 Tips for Little, Stuffy Noses & Little Remedies Giveaway

Oct 14, 2014 Stephanie

6 tips for Stuffy Noses #sponsored

Now that the kids are back-in-school, my goal has been trying to help my family stay healthy & fight off germs. This year is my girls’ first time in school, so I wasn’t surprised when they came down with a cold the second week of school! As any parent of a little one knows, bringing your child relief from a cold can be frustrating.

My daughters, twins, are two, so they don’t really know how to ‘blow their nose.’ They become miserable and uncomforable due to their stuffy, little noses! All I want to do is bring them relief!  Fortunately, there are ways to bring those little noses relief – safely and effectively.

Stuffy Little Noses

Tips:

1.  Keep Hydrated. Aid the body in recovery by helping your child to get lots of fluids. Water or diluted juice are great options. We also like to make homemade popsicles. They’re fun, soothe sore throats and deliver fluids to the body!

2. Clear the Nose! Using natural saline drops is an effective way to bring relief and hasten recovery. We trust Little Remedies Saline Spray/Drops for our kids.A non-medicated, for-all ages solution to dry or stuffy noses, Little Remedies can be used as a spray or as drops. I love that Little Remedies has the Stuffy Nose Kit. Having one of these for each of my three kids is definitely the way to survive cold season. Each kit comes with the Saline Spray/Drops and a Nasal Aspirator – great for children who cannot yet blow their nose or are having a hard time.

3. Cool Mist Humidifers We have one for each our children’s rooms and I swear by them!  The mist will help loosen congestion and keep passages moisturized.

4.  Rest, Rest, Rest. Encourage your little one to get rest & help recover. And true – getting a 2 year old to ‘rest’ or even sit still can be a challenge! Rest can simply be coloring a ta table or playing with blocks quietly on the floor.

5. Soothe the Skin! I always feel so bad for my kids when their little noses get irritated and red from constantly wiping. Consider using a child-friendly face wipe – some specifically desigend for wiping noses and faces. You can also apply a bit of  ointment to moisturize the area – I like to stick with a natural, non-irritating ointment.

6. Shower Trick. If your little one is very congested, spending time being held by an adult in a steamy bathroom can be very helpful in relieving airways and minimizing congestion – especially when a cough is involved.

I hope that you and your little one stay healthy and stuffy-nose free this season &

that these tips are helpfu!

    We put a blanket folded up under my grandson’s mattress to make the pillow area a little more elevated so he can breathe better if he is congested. We also use a humidifier in his room that is shaped like an elephant, so that makes him feel better because he loves having the elephant in his bedroom!

    When my kids are sick they love to sleep on while I hold them. I also found that when my are sick they don’t like to drink fluids, so I give them Popsicles to make sure they stay hydrated.

    Whenever my son is sick I always cuddle with him in bed and give him lots of baths to open his airways and just to cool him down especially if he has a fever. I also make sure he stays hydrated

    Disney JR and lots of rest usually does it for my son. He quickly bounces back from illness. His sister however is a little more high maintenance when ill.

    My kids love to snuggle up with blankie and a movie and sometimes mommy (sometimes they just wanna be left alone) so I let them do that and make sure they stay hydrated.
