Vicks for Baby & Moms

It’s already cold and flu season and another baby essential that I have in my motherhood toolkit is everything Vicks! I really do believe that the big box retailers should carry a gift set of various Vicks products for new moms. This would make the perfect baby registry item. 

Until then, you can make your own Vicks gift basket for any expecting or new moms in your life and it can include:

For Baby

1. The Vicks Baby Rub - safe to rub on baby’s chest

2. The Vicks VapoSteam for use in any humidifier with a medicine tray that allows you to pour liquid Vicks in.

3. Vicks VapoPads for use in the Vicks Vaporizer

For Mom

4. Regular Vicks Rub for mom

5. Vicks inhalers for mom

6. Vicks cough drops for mom

My mom personally used Vicks on me, as a child struggling with nasal congestion, cold and flu, so I was pleased to know it’s one of the only safe things that an expecting mom  or new mom can use instead of medication when battling the cold and flu. 

What other Vicks products do you use in your motherhood toolkit?

                                             

We figured adults sleep best on a good mattress so babies must too! Right? That's why we went with the Sealy Baby Ultra Rest mattress from Walmart. We loved that it has a great height at 6" and has inner springs to provide good support up to toddler age. So far baby loves the firmness of the mattress, we did however have to get a padded mattress protector to lessen the plastic - y sound of the waterproof mattress (more to come).

What do you look for in a crib mattress?
