TARRYTOWN, N.Y. — Amid this year’s busy cold and flu season, Little Remedies has partnered with a well-known blogger and mother to help parents keep their kids healthy through the winter months.
The children’s medicine brand, part of Prestige Brands Holdings Inc., said Tuesday that Colleen Padilla of ClassyMommy.com, a mother of two, has join with Little Remedies to share some tips on how kids can avoid spreading germs and getting sick.
Her advice includes the following: Wash hands frequently and encourage kids to follow suit by putting out fun, kid-friendly soap dispensers; ensure your child’s friends aren’t sick when they get together to play (and vice versa); tell kids to sneeze or cough into their forearm or elbow to help prevent the spread of germs and to not get germs on their hands; be sure to dress warm when there’s cold weather; and clean high-traffic surfaces in your house regularly to rid them of germs.
"As a parent, I am always concerned and aware of what goes into my children’s little bodies," Padilla commented. "With Little Remedies products, I know that I don’t have to worry about what I’m giving them because I know that they are getting everything they need and nothing more."
