Christina says of the only cough remedy that worked: “My sister and brother-in-law gave my three-year-old niece a teaspoon of honey before bed for a week, to help her sleep when she had a persistent cough. For months, after her cough went away, right after brushing her teeth, she would stop on the way to bed, look you in the eye and say like clockwork, ‘I’ve been coughing a lot.’ Now my husband and I occasionally get We look into each other’s eyes and say, ‘I’ve been coughing a lot.'”
Kim says five things that surprised me about having a third child: “My daughter is an only child (late mom here) and goes through stages of wanting siblings.
