If you can get them to take vitamins. Like flinstones chewable or any chewable childrens vitamin, it will help shorten the duration and they will get sick less often. Helena was sick when we brought chai home and soon she was sick too. I also bought hi-c (i think) popsicles that have 100% vitamin c. You can't get too much, so I give them whatever I can find with extra c. I also use the vapor bath and vapor rub for babies, but that won't make it go away any faster. It may just help them sleep better at night. There is also that stuff...Zicam. I couldn't remember the name. Zicam, you take it right when you realize the cold is coming. They have it for children now too. I'm not sure what age they can start to take it though. Hope they feel better soon momma.

Ok, I have used the vapor stuff b4, I will tell my hubby to get some today when he goes to the store
what about the vaporizers? I have one, but I lost the instructions and haven't used it in a long long time
what kind of vitamins do you give, I don't think the girls would eat flinstones, they have a funny taste.... Aren't they too young for theose anyways?
I give them more orange juice when they are sick too.. The florida blah blah kind

I have never been fond of vaporizers. I don't know why, but they are a good idea. I give helena flinstone vitamins. I know they a few other brands to choose from. Oli might be too young to take them. I do have to jump through hoops to get her to take it, but I know she'll get used to it eventually.

Okay, thank you

i know if emma gets sick I can't bath her, she could catch pneumonia, but I told richard when the girls are sick it is best to keep them clean..... So I will tell him to pick some of that stuff up today....If he ever gets up!!! I posted in another post that he stayed up until after 4am, so who knows?

Ohmigosh..Today is d-day
my mother in law gets here after 10pm..... I do not want to see her face

Sorry momma. About your mil. You can buy a generic vapor bath at I think wal-mart. It may be bru, but I think its wm. But I think you can only get the rub from johnson&j. Oh, I just thought of chicken soup! If they will eat it, it's perfect. It helps with sore throat, helps their nose drain (gross), and it whatever else that helps. It's not an old wives tale.

yeah I tried top feed them some yesterday, only rhe would eat

Really all you can do is keep them as comfortable as possible. Alot of hand washind saline soulution and plenty of liquids... Also 7 days to pass
