Family Sickness Essentials: What We Reach for When Germs Hit

At Bubba & Me, we speak with parents every day who are navigating coughs, colds, tummy bugs and those week-long viruses that move from one family member to another. As parents ourselves, we understand how draining it can feel — the long nights, the reduced appetites, the endless need for comfort and reassurance. Over time, we’ve each built up a set of products and practices that consistently help us support our families through sickness. They aren’t cures, and they don’t replace medical guidance, but they do bring comfort, nourishment, hydration and a gentle nudge toward recovery.
