As a working mom it’s not always easy to find entertainment for my little one, especially during the week days after preschool. Thanks to @pinnaaudio we now have access to some pretty cool podcasts, music and audiobooks including dramas, mysteries, science, game shows, comedies and so much more. He can listen to it anytime and anywhere. All in one app and on demand! Pinna is screen-free, ad-free way for kids to play and listen. It’s a streaming service tailored for kids. Peace of mind for this busy mama. You can download the Pinna App on your mobile device. Check out the link in my bio for more information on Pinna. #sponsored #pinnakids #pinnaaudio
Herbal Medicine for Kids: I love using herbs with my little one. Here are a few of my favorites:
.
- Calendula: my favorite for topical issues. It's wonderful for eczema and minor skin irritations. I also used a liquid form of Calendua (a succus) when Matteo had trust as a child. I like @californiababy and @moonvalleyorganics for prepared calendula creams.
.
- Herbal Honey: honey is an excellent cough reliever, and more effective than OTC meds. It is safe to use in all kids over the age of 1. If you want to learn how to make a herbal honey, there's a link in my profile with instructions on how to do it yourself.
.
- Elderberry: the best kid friendly immune support by far. Elderberry syrup can be homemade or bought. Research suggests it can reduce the duration and symptoms of a cold. I like to use it daily during cold/flu season. Our current favorite is @gaiaherbs Elderberry.
.
- Chamomile & Passionflower: these are some of my favorite herbs to help an overtired child wind down. Both herbs can be given as tea or in glycerite (liquid) form. For a glycerite, we use @wisewomanherbals Kalmerite. When we have a tea party with Matteo, it's with @tradmedicinals lavender chamomile tea.
.
- Lavender: this herb has so many applications: topical as a cream, inhaled as an essential oil, as a tea, or in a glycerite form. It's well known for it's ability to promote sleep and works really well for kids. You can diffuse the oil at bedtime as a nice way to help everyone wind down.
.
- Thyme & Echinacea: these herbs have an affinity for the respiratory track, and as a glycerite, they can be given in place of OTC cough/cold meds. We use Planetary Herbals Old Indian Syrup for Kids because it contains both of these herbs and tastes great.
.
