Cold and flu season is officially here in full force! Did you know that school age kids get around 8-12 colds per year? It’s time to pull out all of the stops to protect your family from getting sick. I always cringe thinking about cold and flu season;…

I am a Similac ambassador and received compensation for this post. I can remember with my first baby how many, many questions I asked. It seemed like every day I would have something new I was not sure of as a new mommy. I would often turn to…
