STOMACH BUG

🤢🤮It is that time of year again.  Call it the stomach bug, stomach flu, stomach virus or just plain NO FUN!  Here are my remedies for making sure you keep everyone in your house as comfortable and healthy as you can.  Best advice I can give….this too shall pass.  

Make sure they don’t miss.  Vomit is a fact of life I am afraid.  My daughter taught me a trick to retire the old “puke pot” - line a laundry basket with a trash bag.  The size of the basket gives the kiddos a large area to aim:( 

Keep it clean.  It is essential to disinfect to keep that bug at bay.  Bleach is the only thing that works.  And diluting bleach makes it more effective.  

Mix 2 cups of water with 2 tsps of bleach.  Do not store in a spray bottle.  Store in a glass container.  Solution is effective for 24 hours.

When disinfecting, it is essential to keep the solution on for 5-10 minutes before wiping. Then wipe down with water.  

Keep Hydrated.  I know the little ones think you should chug water or gatorade or ginger ale but truth is, you need to go slow.  After you have vomited, wait an hour or two before you ingest anything.  Then take very small amounts.  About a tablespoon an hour.  

And don’t forget to change those toothbrushes when you are feeling better.  

OK..big hug.  Feel better.  Babs is thinking of you. #health #stomachbug
