Honey for cough before nap and bedtime?
« on: June 17, 2008, 21:24:17 pm »
Just wondering if anyone has any good advice for cough relief while sleeping?  My one-year-old wakes himself up from this nasty cough he has.  I've heard after a year you can give them a little spoonful of honey?  Anyone tried this or anything else that worked?

I haven't used it that young but I use it with my 3 1/2 year old. I heard somewhere along the line manuka honey is especially healing so I give her teaspoons of it for her reflux and when she has a cold. There was just a study done too recently that said honey is as effective, if not more, than cough medicine so...

I give a teaspoon of honey (we use Manuka honey too) with my girls.... they are both sick at the moment. I mix it with milk or just water.

But won't they then be sleeping with sugar on their teeth?

Most med has sugar though and we don't make LOs clean their teeth after giving med ;)

If it meant they(and me) got a better night's sleep, it wouldn't bother me once in a while!

Haven't you ever gone to bed without cleaning your teeth?! I was trying to think of the last time I did......it must have been before DS and in a drunken stupor ;D ;D
