Always have these to hand when your bubba is poorly. They are so multi functional! In the past I have used them to mop up snot, dribble, sick, food..pretty much everything that needs mopping up can be initially cleaned up by these bad boys until you get a chance to go back and give the area (or child) a proper clean!
2. Medicine.
An obvious one really. I currently have 5 bottles of the stuff on the go. A bottle of Calpol and a bottle of Calprofen up stairs in bubbas room, a bottle of each of them downstairs as well (as I'm lazy), a bottle of Calcough for before sleep time and a plug in Calpol Sooth & Care Vapour plug in in bubbas bedroom. This plug in is AMAZING! I can't even begin to tell you how much I recommend these things. They are a little pricey, as are the refills, but they are so worth the money. It has a wonderful lavender and chamomile vapours that not only clear snuffly little noses but also smell so relaxing!
3. Dribble Bibs
I have mentioned a couple of times on here that Bubba is a dribbly baby. Always has been. But when he has a cold or isn't feeling well the dribble is on a whole new level!! In the past couple of days we have been going through about 5 per day. We use the Funky Giraffe dribble bibs (check them out here as they are honestly the best dribble bibs ever and NO they have not paid me to say that, I just love them!) and even they get soaked through when bubs is poorly. Make sure you have a good stock of bibs to last while you clean the others!
4. Snacks and favourite foods.

5. Patience.
This is the most important thing you will need when your bubba is ill. Lot's and lot's of patience. When my bubba is poorly, everything else just goes by the wayside. House work, washing, cleaning etc as all my little boy normally wants is snuggles. It's so hard sometimes as, as a mum, you have so much to do but you just have to sit back, let it all go and enjoy the snuggles and make your little person feel better. It takes patience, time and a lot of snuggles but before you know it they will be back to themselves again.
Have you got any top tips for what you do when your little one feels poorly?
