Ok, apologies in advance but this isn't a glamorous post but then who said that parenting was glamorous?! So this weeks favourite is Boots Cold Defence Spray. I'm sure you may have seen cold defence sprays in the past and I have to say that I'm a total convert. First sign of a cold and this spray comes out and up my nose - but not only mine but my daughters as they can be used from a year (and whilst you're pregnant). The idea of it is that you take it at the first sign of a cold and it can help prevent it coming into a full blown cold and / or reduce the duration of a cold. Obviously colds are part and parcel of winter and are even more prevalent when you have children so something that can help reduce the duration or even help stop it is a winner in my book! I urge you to try it!!
Now another good thing to try is to try a Vitamin C plus zinc effervescent tablet when a cold starts to take hold. It might be all in my mind but I do feel that if I take one of these when I start to feel a cold coming on that sometimes it does help to stop it becoming a full on cold.
Does anyone else have any top tips for colds in toddlers... And their parents?!
Great tips. My five year old seems to be constantly full of cold since he started full time school, but I am finding multi-vitamins are helping.
ReplyDeleteYes we use multi vitamins with the children too, anything to give them that extra boost is useful I think. So horrible when they're constantly full of cold isn't it
DeleteI keep meaning to get vitamins.As for cod treatments? Nope, no idea! :-)
ReplyDeleteMulti vitamins are good too but always have a bottle of this cold defence spray in the cupboard!
DeleteAnything that can reduce the length or strength of a cold is a definite winner! Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
ReplyDeleteThanks for having me again!
DeleteI could of done with that last week....I've been full of cold! Just getting over it now!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea x
Oh no... I wrote this full of health and have been suffering ever since so have been dosing up. Have also been using a lot of Vicks Sinex to help me breath!
DeleteNot tried that defence spray before - thanks for the tip. We've all got colds here now, and no doubt we'll have another in a couple of weeks, too, so will try it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it helps, even just a little! Using it a lot at the moment!!
DeleteI've tried this too - was particularly pleased that I could use it when pregnant / breastfeeding. I do think it really helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up this week :)
