My Sick Little Child

Hello all,

So as you probably already know, a few weeks ago, my little HelperBaby was very sick. So had a fever and was uncomfortable in everything and was cranky and needed lots of hugs and snuggles and medicine. This is just a little post about what I do when the little one is sick. I hope this helps you. *** Go check out my disclaimer sections please***

First, I fill the bath with nice, warm water, with the Johnson and Johnson's Soothing Vapor Bath. This is what I use to wash HelperBaby as well. I find that it really clears up her nose and she has a lot more pep after a bath in this stuff. I also use a baby vapor rub, but it isn't pictured here because I couldn't find it this time. 

Next, we throw our toys that we want to play with into the bath. 

While she is doing that, I throw her pjs and her towel into the dryer and put it on sensor dry. By the time the sensor catches up with the machine, it will be about time to get Penguin out of the tub and into the nice warm towel and pjs. (My washer and dryer are in the SAME ROOM as the bath. I did not leave her unattended, I promise.)

I then give her some White Grape Tylenol for cough and cold for infants. Ages 0-23 months. I give her one does according to her weight and that will be able to work its magic so that she shouldn't be coughing or have a fever by the time she goes to bed. 

This is her sitting patiently on the edge of the tub waiting for the water to fill up. She is so sweet. 

This is her nose aspirator. It is battery powered, and I find that it works the best. She doesn't like it all that much, but neither would I. But it is what is best for her so we can all sleep through the night. 

I give her a gummi multivitamin everyday, but when she has a cold, I stop the multivitamin and pump her full of Vitamin C and D. 

This is just regular Vasaline that I use on her bum and her lips and nose, if needed, because when she gets sick she gets little itchy rashes everywhere. And no, I don't use the same tub for her bum and her face. it is simply the same product. 

This is her having a ball in the bubbles. 

Washing herself. 

Then, because i don't want her sickness to become worse, and also because if I don't dry her hair before she goes to sleep, it becomes a horrible ratty mess in the back, I blow dry her hair on low, alternating between the warm and the cool so that she never gets too hot or too cold. 

That is the tube of Vasaline.

Now that we are all clean and dry, we get into our nice warm pjs, and we are ready to brush our little teeth and go to sleep!

I hope you guys enjoyed this little routine. I hope to see you soon, and let me know what medicines and remedies you use for your children! Have an absolutely amazing day and I will talk to you later!

Warm wishes.

The Amazing Jolly Jumper

Hey everyone!

Today I wanted o give you my review of the jolly jumper! I have this ages old picture of my baby girl in her Jolly Jumper. 

She was very sleepy in this photo, but this is her about seven months of age. 

I love the Jolly Jumper. It was a life saver at times. You know those times when your baby is just learning to crawl, so they get into everything you don't want them to, but they also fall all the time, so you need them to not distract you when you are trying to get ready to go to a wedding, or a party, or a playgroup, or pack for a vacation, but they just on't stay put because they have found this lovely wonderful new way to move? Well, that is where the Jolly Jumper comes in. You simply put the baby on the floor on its back, strap it into the Jolly Jumper harness, and then clip them in (they aren't very heavy at this age). Make sure that their feet can touch the ground with a bent knee, and that their arms are correctly though the straps. Then, watch then go to town.

Ella used to love being in her Jolly Jumper! Loved it! She could be in there for forever, but the recommendation is 15 minutes at a time. I will admit, I kept her in there for thirty minutes at a time because she loved it so much. If you have a baby that likes to sleep a lot, or gets tired easily, I would say, don't leave them in there and leave the room, otherwise they might fall asleep in the Jumper and that is very bad for the baby's neck. 

Jolly Jumpers are not very expensive, and they definitely pay for themselves over time. We bough the Jolly Jumper with the stand, though you can buy the one that goes in the doorway if you want. There are also transitional packages that make it so you can have the Jolly Jumper at home, and then take the harness and the Jolly Jumper door way attachment to a friend's house, or on vacation, or even to another room in the house. 

I would recommend buying a Jolly Jumper, and especially asking for one for a baby shower gift. 

I hope this helped you a little. 

See you next week for more Babies, Toddlers, and Kids Oh My.

Warm wishes.

Ice Ice Baby

This is a page where I will be reviewing all sorts of baby products. I will do toys, clothes, shoes, accessories and everyday essentials. My daughter is a little older now, and because of that, I have a lot of stuff that we will be re-purposing or selling in the summer. As I go through it, I will be posting my reviews on everything I can get my hands on.

Also, as she grows, obviously I will be getting into toddler and child reviews, so hopefully this helps you. As me anything, there maybe a product that I hated so I threw away, or more likely gave away, so it isn't in my possession any longer, or the product might have been borrowed. I have used thousands of things on my baby. All the way from cheap to pricey, so if you're looking for name brand, I'm your woman, but more often than not, if you're looking for inexpensive quality, then I am definitely at your service. Let me know any questions that you have about babies, and toddlers, or any merchandise you have questions about. I will tell it all.

Warm wishes.
