    A blanket and a hot warm bottle. We switch the lights off in the bedroom and watch the light projector stars dance round the walls to help them drift off to sleep.

    When my son has the cold he likes being kept warm under the duvet watching programmes on the iPad and making his pillow a bit higher at night to stop him coughing.  Also giving him a bit of vicks vapour rub at night helps with a blocked nose when sleeping.

    Lots of cuddles with a blanking and favourite sookie on the sofa watching a good Disney movie. Also endless ice poles to soothe the throat and also helps to cool a fever along with calpol, and vicks for the stuffy nose.

    Lots of cuddles and chat. Spending time together playing with favourite toys or watching cartoons. Ice cream for a sore throat. Cool flannel for head if feeling hot. Nice hot bath with clean, fresh pyjamas and a story tape at bedtime which we listen to together.

    We usually have a sofa day with warm blankets, good movies and snacks. At night I use snuffle babes on their chest and feet and prop the pillow end of the bed up to help them breathe a bit better. Our Labrador always knows when thy boys are poorly and loves to snuggle up with them to help them feel better.

    My son loves a story so I'll read to him or we will enjoy making up our own stories.

    If our son has a cough we give him a spoonful of Manuka honey every day (obviously not suitable for children under 12 months!). Cuddles are the best medicine if they aren't feeling well, so we will snuggle up on the sofa and watch a film.

    I find distraction works. I let my kids play on my tablet which they don't normally do. Putting CBeebies games on it or downloading a game.
