All children sometimes get sick and every mother knows that there is little pleasant in this. In this issue I will tell you about my life hacks that make my mom's life much easier.
Life hack 1: We are treated with a favorite toy
If the child does not want to take medications or follow the doctor's recommendations, the child's favorite toy comes to my aid.
I tell Amalia that her beloved bear Timmy just got sick and has the same symptoms. Timmy agrees to be treated, so he drinks medicine, and now he goes to listen to the story.
The example of a little friend, as a rule, has an encouraging effect on the child, and it becomes a little easier for the mother.
Life hack 2: Keeping clean
A runny nose is a constant sniffing and a whole ton of disposable handkerchiefs. In order not to collect used paper handkerchiefs throughout the house, I connected 2 boxes with an elastic band - empty and with napkins. She explained to Amalia that she should put used napkins in the empty one.
It is not only convenient but also hygienic. The child will not be able to reach for an already used napkin.
Life hack 3: Making delicious medicines
Children do not like pills, but sometimes they still have to be taken. I crush the tablet, and add the resulting powder to jelly, honey or jam. The child happily eats the treat prepared for him, and at the same time the medicine.
Never add bitter tablets to your baby's food. This can make the child disgusted or refuse to eat.
Life hack 4: Making a schedule for taking medications
When a child is sick, mothers have more worries and it is simply impossible to keep everything in mind. In order not to get confused, whether I gave the baby medicine or not, I draw a table with the intake schedule on each jar: in column 1 I indicate the day of the week, and in columns 2 and 3 - the time of day - morning and evening. I mark the time in the required column with a cross when I gave the child the medicine. (see video)

Life hack 5: Game gymnastics
Constipation in young children is a serious problem that needs to be solved quickly by contacting a specialist. But stimulation of the intestines will not be superfluous. For this you need to do abdominal exercises.
How to get a child to do them? Very simple! We carry out gymnastics in a playful way. I ask Amalia to pick up the toys from the floor, not squatting, but bending over to them, or put a toy on her tummy. The child's task is to throw off the toy without hands, only by inflating the tummy.

- Constipation in newborns with artificial feeding
A healthy baby is happy with everything around him and makes his mother happy! So let's try together so that our children get sick as rarely as possible.
