Ugh, it's that time of year again—sick season. The days when your little one’s runny nose turns into a full-blown cold, and before you know it, your entire family has caught whatever bug is going around. As a mom, there’s nothing worse than seeing your kid sick (except maybe dealing with all the mess that comes with it). But don't worry! I’ve got you covered with the ultimate list of kid must-haves to survive sick season. Trust me, these are the things you’ll wish you had last year!
So without further ado, here are your sick season must-haves!
VOMIT BAGS
Let’s be honest. There’s nothing more horrifying than when your kid suddenly says, “Mom, I don’t feel good,” and you know what’s coming next. Whether it’s the stomach flu or just a bad bout of coughing, you’re likely in for a mess. The last thing you want to do is scramble for a plastic bag or, even worse, clean up a spill off your car seats or the couch. This is where vomit bags become your best friend.
These aren’t your regular, flimsy bags, either. I’m talking about the sturdy, hospital-grade kind that can hold everything without making you want to gag. Keep a stash of them in every room of the house (and definitely in your car). When the inevitable happens, you’ll be thankful you were prepared.
EXTRA-LONG SYRINGES
If you’ve ever tried to get your kid to take medicine, you know how fun that can be (read: not fun at all). And don’t even get me started on those half-full bottles of antibiotics that you can never get the last bit out of! That’s where extra-long syringes come in. These are the real MVPs of medicine administration.
These syringes make it so much easier to reach the very bottom of medicine bottles—no more shaking, tapping, and hoping you can squeeze out the last drop. And let’s face it, every drop counts when it’s your kid’s health at stake. They also make it easier to give medicine without the spills, and let’s be honest—anything that makes medicine time less of a nightmare is a win in my book.
GENEXA MEDICATIONS
When your kid is sick, the last thing you want is to be loading them up with artificial colors, weird chemicals, or unnecessary additives. That’s why Genexa Dye-Free Medicines are my go-to. These medicines are made with clean, natural ingredients that are easy on your child’s sensitive stomach and immune system.
From cold medicine to pain relief, Genexa’s products are just as effective as the ones you find in traditional medicine aisles, but without all the junk. They even taste better, which makes getting your kid to take medicine a little less of a battle. And let's face it, anything that gets your kid better faster (without the sugar-high crash) is a win.
BOOGIE KIDS BATH BOMBS
When your kid is feeling sick, there’s nothing better than a warm bath to soothe their achy body and stuffy nose. But getting them into the bath can sometimes be its own challenge, especially when they’re miserable. Enter Boogie Kids Bath Bombs—the perfect solution for making bath time a little more fun and a lot more relaxing.
These bath bombs are packed with gentle ingredients like eucalyptus and lavender, which help ease congestion and make your little one feel better (even if they don’t realize it yet). They’ll love watching the bath bomb fizz and bubble, and the calming scents can help them relax and breathe easier.
Sick season is NO JOKE. It feels like you’re constantly wiping noses, changing sheets, and trying to keep your house from turning into a miniature petri dish. But with the right tools on hand, you can make those days just a little bit easier. Keep vomit bags ready for the unexpected messes, use extra-long syringes to make medicine time less of a fight, add some fun to bath time with Boogie Kids Bath Bombs, and trust Genexa Dye-Free Medicines to be gentle and effective.
Being a mom during sick season doesn’t have to feel like an endless marathon of tissues and tears. With these must-haves, you’ll be ready to face the next round of germs and bugs with a little more grace—and a lot less stress!
