The Mom's Sick Kid Command Center Kit || #SickJustGotReal #ColdFluPrep

Disclosure: This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. All thoughts and reviews are my own.

The holiday season is the worst time of year to have a sick child. There are so many fun holiday activities going on and it's really a bummer when you have to miss them because one of your kids is sick. At our house the living room, and more specifically the couch, turn into my sick kid command center and I want to keep everything I need at hand. It's the worst to need something in the middle of the night to help your sick child and you can't find it. The worst!


That's why before cold and flu season I put together my Mom's Sick Kid Command Center Kit! That way I have all the the survival basics that I need for when the sickies hit one of my kids. We've already had one man down this holiday season and I was so glad that I had everything I needed right at hand to keep her comfortable and myself sane!


I keep everything for my SICK KID COMMAND CENTER KIT in a basket near my command center - aka the couch. No more rummaging around in my bathroom by flashlight in the middle of the night for the thermometer so I don't disturb my husband. It's all together in one spot and right where I need it. I always include my favorite Pfizer Pediatric Products that offer symptom relief for kids as young as 2 and up to 11. That is exactly our age range at home. 


Children’s Advil® is perfect for Grace. Its comes in several great-tasting flavors, including Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavors. She loves Grape and I appreciate that it alleviates the achy body feeling she gets when she's sick.

We also use Children’s Dimetapp® Cold and Cough to tackle the most  bothersome stuffy and runny noses, all while working to relieve a cough, for ages 6 and up and the big kids like the yummy grape flavor.

Other items I keep in my SICK KID COMMAND CENTER KIT are:
  • Peppermint candies to soothe dry throats
  • Chest rub
  • Petroleum jelly
  • Herbal tea and my favorite mug
  • Honey sticks
  • Saline nasal spray
  • Tissues
  • Moist saline wipes
  • Lip balm
  • Thermometer
  • Cozy corn bag

  10. Ugh I'm sick myself now, that's tough to answer, my kids are sniffling and coughing but no fever, so that's good. How do we do this? Time and some medicine help.
