We can put a man on a moon, but we canโ€™t beat that obnoxious collection of shifty viruses. So how cool that thereโ€™s now an all-natural cough drop for kids, in convenient lollipop form.

When we received a bag of LILAPOPS, an all natural cough drop for kids, both of my children instantly began coughing and staggering around in the hopes that I would let them have a taste. I didnโ€™t fall for it. But when the flu struck last week, Iโ€™m so glad we were prepared. My sick preschooler now thinks LILAPOPS are the best medicine ever.

The pops were invented by a mom, so the ingredients are simple: honey, marshmallow root, and, well, lollipop. No yucky dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives. Iโ€™m not a big fan of sugar, but once my son couldnโ€™t stop coughing, I was glad to find something that helped soothe him.

I tried one myself, because my kids have terrible taste and I knew I couldnโ€™t trust their flavor description of โ€œIt tastes kinda purpley.โ€ So here I am, 34 years old, sucking on a LILAPOP. The Grapeberry taste is very subtle, and it somehow doesnโ€™t seem as sticky as a normal sucker. And you know what? Whether itโ€™s the placebo effect or the honey and marshmallow root, my cold is bothering me just a little less.

They canโ€™t cure a cold or bring about world peace. But theyโ€™re a nice weapon in your arsenal when fighting illness in kids too young for cough drops. If nothing else, sucking on a LILAPOP makes them happy when theyโ€™re feeling their worst, and thatโ€™s worth a lot to me.~Delilah
Find LILAPOPS at the LILAPOPS website.

    Now THAT is pretty sweet! Any trick to help a mom sooth her sick kid is just plain awesome.
    Wish Iโ€™ve knew that Lilapops back in October.
    โ€“Noted and will buy next flu season (because I do wishful thinking by hoping we went through the last of the season here.)
