Baby Cold Medicine – Sick Baby Must-Haves
There is nothing worse than your baby being sick and you don’t want to be caught unprepared when the time comes to give your baby some relief. Buying baby cold medicine can be overwhelming because there are so many different types out there and some of them are filled with unnecessary ingredients such as dyes and artificial flavoring.
When we give our babies cold medicine, we want them to get the medicine, not a lot of junk and additives. Throughout this article you will manly see 3 different brands, Genexa, Zarbees, and Hyland’s.
**Disclaimer: Please read all baby cold medicine labels to ensure there is nothing your child is allergic to and to make sure you are giving the proper does. Children under 2, please contact your doctor or pediatrician on proper dose. Always supervise your child after giving them medicine to ensure no allergic reaction occurs and store medicine properly and out of reach of children.**

Genexa:
A brand made by two dads that wanted medicine made with the same active ingredients people needed but without all the artificial ones they don’t. There medicine is made of the same active ingredients as many of the name brands on shelves today such as acetaminophen and dextromethorphan.
Inactive ingredients are what help with taste, texture, and stability. Unfortunately, some of the synthetic ingredients in medicine can cause digestive issues and other health problems. That’s why Genexa only uses clean inactive ingredients that are gluten-free, non-GMO, and certified vegan. It’s what people deserve.

Zarbees:
Father and pediatrician Dr. Zak Zarbock was inspired to create Zarbee’s Naturals™ and many moms were also looking for alternative products, but there weren’t many wholesome, safe, and chemical-free options on the shelf.
Powerful ingredients like dark honey, elderberry, and agave form the backbone of Zarbees products. What you won’t find in their lineup are drugs, alcohol, gluten, or artificial flavors, sweeteners, and dyes whenever possible, which means you can feel good about what you bring into your home.
