The 7 Step Breathe Easy Guide.
With colder months, come the bugs. They travel around playschools, sports teams and from sibling to sibling – and they are the pits. Short of wrapping them in cotton wool, there is only so much you can do to stop the spread.
Step#1:
Dust off the humidifier: Mucus in the lungs causes congestion, so having your toddler breathe moist air can help to loosen this mucus.
Step#2:
Eucalyptus essential oil is great to help loosen up mucus in the airways. Also, it smells great.
Step#3:
Saline drops, sprays or mists are extremely effective at clearing a baby's congested nose gently and effectively.
But for stubborn mucus you may need to get in there with an aspirator. We know! The things parents do.
Step#4:
Keeping a sick child hydrated is one of the easiest and quickest ways you can help them recover. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
Step#5:
Breathe easy! Incorporating the powerful healing properties of eucalyptus, tea tree, lavender and frankincense, our chest rub provides a gentle, safe and effective way to ease congestion.
Step#6:
Children need plenty of sleep - even more so when they are ill. Sleep presses the reset button and allows the body some down-time to fight the bugs it is up against.
Step#7:
When children lie flat on their backs their congestion can sometimes worsen. Elevating your toddler's upper body so gravity can help reduce congestion can contribute to a more peaceful night's sleep.
