These sick baby essentials are your ticket out of Sniffle City
It’s that time of year again. Runny noses. Coughing. Sneezing. Fevers. Fatigue. And that’s just us parents. Kiddos being sick is terrible, and little-little ones being under the weather is awful. The flu, RSV, COVID, and an awful “tridemic” combination of the three is hitting children hard this season. And while your first stop/phone call should most definitely be to your child’s health care provider, we have the sick baby essentials to keep your little ones as comfortable as possible while following doctor’s orders.

Caring for sick babies is a little different from caring for our older kids. Aside from the fact that it’s absolutely heartbreaking to see your sweet baby not feeling well, there are different approaches, tips, and products that are specific to your littlest loves. Once you’ve gotten doctor’s instructions, there are lots of different solutions for soothing your little one while they’re on the mend. We’ve put together a bunch of sick baby essentials that are ideal for keeping on hand for sick days that we definitely couldn’t do without.
