Ways to Keep Kids Healthy in the Fall
Do you try to stick to natural ways to keep kids healthy in the fall? We do! We’ve tried the OTC medicines over the years, but honestly…the side effects just aren’t friendly. I hate the idea of giving these to my kiddo. Most of the time, our allergies, colds, flu viruses and bugs just take time to run their courses. Finding natural ways to ease the symptoms is better all around.
Our Moms Check In moms are talking about our favorite more natural ways to keep kids healthy in the fall. We’d love to hear your tips too. Drop us a comment below or chat with us on social media using the hashtag #MomsCheckIn and #LoveMatys!
Ways to Keep Kids Healthy in the Fall…
– Eat a well balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies. Hide them in their favorite foods, if you have to!
– Take lots of extra Vitamin C! Also, something like this immune boosting tea would be perfect!
– Keep a humidifier and/or essential oil diffuser going.
– Stay on top of their seasonal indoor/outdoor allergies.
– Get them used to always washing hands and using anti-bacterial hand gel or wipes.
– Dust and vacuum more often in the fall.
– Choose a more expensive furnace filter in the fall. The heftier ones trap more allergens.
Ok! Here are more tips from our moms…
“Eating well is so important. Of course you need to eat fruits and veggies, but also some spices have been shown to have awesome health benefits. A good multi-vitamin can help fill in any missing nutritional gaps. We also make sure that we are practicing good hand washing. Lots and lots of hand washing!”

“Mike, Sam and I have been battling some icky symptoms already this fall. My advice: lots of fluids and rest! I’ve also been mindful to disinfect things whenever I’m able. If you can’t always make it to a sink, a little bottle of hand sanitizer nearby is excellent.”

“Staying on top of seasonal allergies is huge for us. Increasing their vitamin C intake + hiding lots of fruits and veggies in our meals for the extra vitamins that are essential to our immune system. We do have to hide them, to get the kiddo to eat them, haha! We also use natural remedies vs. most OTC cold/flu medications because honestly, the side effects are just awful with those. We encourage lots of warm and hot liquids too, especially hot tea and chicken broth.“
