What do you do...

...when you are sick to try and keep the kidlettes from catching it? I'm home with an awful cold and sent Sophia to hang out at my mom's house. I'm also encouraging orange consumption. I wash my hands a lot. She usually catches my colds anyway. What other strategies work?

Re: What do you do...

  • We don't have any family nearby so there really isn't anywhere to send her.  For the most part, I just assume if any of us gets something, we'll all get it.  It sucks, but in the end is better for her immune system to just let her get sick!

  • Honey and cinnamon, probiotics, lots of fluids and ginger baths all help fight off germs

  • Ginger bath? Is this a product you buy or homemade?
  • Ginger baths are simply the ginger you buy as a spice dissolved in a warm/hot bath and soak in it. It pulls toxins out then rinse off in clean water. I've done it a handful of times and it seemed to shorten what ever bug was in our house at the time both stomach and bugger types. And I figure if it doesn't really work at least it's not harmful
