WubbaWhat?
I have my cousin to thank for this post's product - and it wouldn't be the first. She bought this item for my Maisie when she was first born. It's called a WubbaNub, and if Soothies brand binks are your choice, you gotta have one of these. If you use a Soothie, you know how they bounce. One simple drop of those rubber suckers on any hard surface and - poof! - it's gone. This is where I've been most thankful for the WubbaNub. The Soothie is permanently attached to a cute, bean-filled stuffed animal. You can choose from a variety of animals and they're all very lightweight and securely stitched. Naturally, you'll want to give it a good looking over once in a while, but that's true for anything. The other great thing about the WubbaNub is that they're sized and weighted just right for little ones to grab. My little gal loves to hold on to hers and swing it around. And when she's a bit older, I look forward to the WubbaNub helping her locate her binkie in her crib at night ... saving me the trip. An adorable product. Oh, and you just throw it right into the washing machine with baby's clothes to be washed with baby detergent. Air dry. Hassle free.

An ear full of miracle juice
Have an infant? Then you may know the joys of ear infections. Have an infant in daycare? Then you NO DOUBT know the joys of ear infections. The little lady has been battling her first (1 week in daycare is all it took, people) for nearly 3 weeks now. We ran thru the cycle of antibiotics and she seemed to be doing better. Then came several loooooonnnnnggg nights. You know, those nights where they won't let you lay them down because the pressure on their ears is too painful so you (or your sweet husband in my case) spend the night sleeping in the recliner with the baby in your lap, her head intentionally supported in an upright position. It's the only way for anyone to get any sleep sometimes.
After a rough Sunday of an entire sleep-deprived family being snippy with each other (we were ALL VERY tired) we decided something had to be done. I remembered something I saw the day before and why I didn't just buy it then ... well, anyway. Da da da da-da! Hyland's Infant Earache Drops came to the rescue! These homeopathic drops were just what our little gal needed to get a decent night's sleep. We were so thankful! If only we'd known about thus stuff when our son was a babe! Oh, how we suffered! (But maybe it wasn't around then?)
Anyway, here's what they contain and what they do:
Belladonna for fever and inflamation
Calcarea Carbonica for throbbing, pulsing pain in ears
Chamomilla for restlessness or irratbility
Lycopodium for pain and congestion in ears
Pulsatilla for ear pain worse at night
Sulphur for ear pain with burning sensation
Yup, that about covers it! I really thought they'd be too good to be true. But, after seeing how they worked on Maisie, you can be sure my medicine cabinet will never be without Hyland's Infant Earache Drops until both kids are at least ... hmmmm ... 15 maybe?
