HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S HEALTH (AND YOUR OWN) DURING COLD DAYS

Dear moms,

When the weather gets colder, the days get shorter and sunlight disappears, our bodies and minds naturally ask for more care.
Kids get sick more often, we feel more tired, and sometimes it seems like all we want is to curl up under a blanket and wait for spring.
And maybe that’s perfectly fine — to slow down, rest more, and focus on what matters most: health, calm, and time together.

🍵 WARM DRINKS AS FIRST AID

On cold days, even the simplest things work wonders — like a warm cup of tea.
Not just any tea, but one that warms both body and soul.

👉 For kids: fruit or herbal teas — rosehip, sea buckthorn, linden blossom, chamomile.
Sweeten with a teaspoon of honey (only after the tea cools down so its benefits remain intact).

👉 For moms: warm water with lemon and ginger in the morning supports immunity and digestion.
And in the evening? A cup of cocoa or turmeric milk and a quiet moment with your kids — just warm up together.

💆‍♀️ MASSAGE & HEALING TOUCH

Touch is one of the most natural ways to care for your child — and for yourself.

After a warm bath, you can give your child a short foot, back, or hand massage
it improves circulation, supports better sleep, and strengthens the feeling of safety.

Use a few drops of coconut or almond oil, or a gentle baby oil.
A drop of lavender helps calm and release tension.

And don’t forget yourself — a quick neck or hand massage during the quiet evening can do wonders.

🕯️ HOME SCENTS & COZINESS

During the colder months, we spend much more time at home, so it’s worth caring for the right atmosphere.
Aromatherapy can create a sense of warmth and comfort:

  • orange, clove, cinnamon → evoke a sense of home and safety
  • lavender, mandarin → calm and support sleep

Some moms enjoy an evening ritual — lighting a candle, playing soft music, and spending a few minutes simply feeling themselves.
That’s not a luxury, it’s soul care — something every mom deserves.

🥣 VITAMINS & NUTRITION

During autumn and winter, kids’ bodies need extra support.
Vitamins C, D, and zinc are essentials.

Add more fruits, vegetables, and warm meals to your daily menu — soups, broths, roasted veggies.
You don’t need magical supplements — just variety and consistency.

And don’t forget about hydration — even in winter.
Warm water with lemon or tea with a bit of honey can make a big difference.

💛 EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING & TOGETHERNESS

Health is not just about vitamins.
It’s also about calm, laughter, and closeness.

Give yourself and your child a daily moment to talk, play, or read together.
Kids don’t need a perfect program — they need a mom who is present.

And dear moms, remember: when you take care of yourself, you give your children the best — calm, patience, and love.
If the daily routine exhausts you, allow yourself a few minutes of quiet, deep breathing, or time without your phone.

🌙 IN THE END

Cold days don’t have to be all about fatigue and illness.
They can also be about slowing down, warm blankets, the smell of tea, and cozy home moments.

Caring for your health is not about complicated rules — it’s about small, loving gestures —
a cup of tea, a touch, a smile, and shared calm.

With love,
Your LALALU
