When kids get sick, everything else takes a backseat. In this episode of Babies Down, Bottles Up, we dive into the chaos of dealing with strep, fevers, and those dreaded stomach bugs. We’re sharing our own war stories—from the struggle of keeping toothbrushes swapped out to the real MVPs of the “sickness survival pack” (hello, Pedialyte and thermometers).

We’ll also get into the must-know home remedies, from Vicks VapoRub to lukewarm baths, and whether essential oils actually do anything. Plus, self-care when you’re running on fumes—how do you stay sane when you and the kids are both down for the count?

Then, the big debate: When is it time to go to the doctor? We’ll talk about navigating medical visits, handling school absences, and the never-ending battle of convincing school officials your kid isn’t faking it.

If you’ve ever been stuck in the never-ending cycle of sick days, this one’s for you. Grab some tea (or something stronger) and join the conversation!
