Closed: I’m Picking 10 Schools To Win 100 Wet Ones Antibacterial Wipes Travel Packs!
Parents can follow other simple tips to start the new school year off on the right foot. Dr. Sears, renowned pediatrician and author of more than 40 books on childcare, offers the following five tips to keep students healthy, from brain to body:
1. Begin the Day with a Brainy Breakfast: Children who start the day with a “brainy breakfast” that includes protein, fiber-filled carbs, Omega-3 fats and minerals like calcium and iron, do better in school and have fewer sick days.
2. Keep Hands Clean: The first and easiest line of defense against the spread of germs is washing hands often, but when soap and water are not available, antibacterial wipes like Wet Ones® hand wipes are an effective alternative. Wet Ones® antibacterial wipes are proven to be just as effective as gel hand sanitizer in killing 99.99 percent of germs but they also clean away dirt and messes and won’t dry out skin like alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Keep them around the house, in lunchboxes and in pockets.
3. Feed Your Child Immune-Boosting Foods: The best way to boost the immune system is to increase the intake of fruits, vegetables, seafood and yogurt.
4. Keep Little Noses and Sinuses Clear: Germs often settle first in the nose and sinuses, so it’s important to keep kids’ nasal passages clear by either flushing them out with a saltwater solution or loosening secretions with a facial steamer or vaporizer.
5. Keep Your Children Active: Movement mobilizes the immune system. Kids who sit too much – especially indoors – get sick more often. Movement also mellows the mood, as stress depresses the immune system.
The Wet Ones® Antibacterial Wipes brand is setting out to provide 99 classrooms around the country with antibacterial wipes for the new school year.

10 schools can win 100 Wet Ones Antibacterial Wipes! http://reviews.momspective.com/wet-ones/...
My niece was crawling near the cat litter and she grabbed some thinking it was candy and ate it. Had us laughing.
NASTY!
I’ve had plenty of grimy experiences with my toddler – she’s a bloody cute little thing, if only she’d act like a girl. *Sigh* Just this week she had curled up on her brother’s bed (he was at school), so I came in to see what she was up too and laid down next to her. She got up and decided to lay at the foot of the bed with the dog. Her way of telling me to go away probably. Anyway, after a few minutes she said “Oh my goobness (her word, not mine) Lucy! Your butt is stinky! Phooey-pooh!” I sat up and yep, her nose was planted in the dogs ass. Fan-freakin’-tastic.
Last summer, we went on a family camping trip… with my then 3 month old. My mom was holding the baby in one hand and her soda can in the other. She put her soda down, tossed the baby around a bit, then went back to take a swig of her drink. After a big gulp, and noticing that she had some mysterious substance ALL OVER her hand, she put the can down very slowly and held up her arm to ask my sister and I what the hell was on it. After a while, we were all gathered around my mother’s raised arm, examining this strange new material. About then is when I noticed that the very same stuff was also smeared all over her soda can. This was brought to my attention because I, too, decided to pick up her can in the hopes of having a drink. Apparently it took me having it on my hand as well to discover that this was no mystery at all, my daughter had crapped all over everything and my mother just put the poop covered can to her lips. Funny that we were so concerned with my mother’s hand, no one noticed the crap smeared in my little darling’s hair, or the “please tell me stupidity isn’t hereditary” look all over her face.
I always keep these in the car to clean our hands, since we seem to eat so many meals on the road…
#4 is the hardest one for me. My two girls can’t stand boogies. they keep the stuff in there if it means not blowing their nose. I try and tell them you’ll feel better, but they hate boogies. Ok, no one likes them, myself included.
When my sis n law had her babies, and they had boogies, My eyes would water, I would gag and call for help!
Now I have to toughen up and get them girls to clean their noses.. Euwww
my daughter(20 months) picked up and said mmnnn…yummy as she licked her finger! Omg, and I had NOTHING to clean her with!

I had my 2-year-old grandson in his car seat. I didn’t notice that his sister had given him a nice sucker. I turned around when we parked. He had green sticky sucker all over him. Luckily I keep travel wet wipes in my purse.
This product is a very good gum remover. I had stepped on a piece of gum and then got in a friends car and got gum all over his floor mat. He had this product in his car for his two kids. He hands me the container and says… Get it out. I scrubbed for a few minutes and it came right out. No residue left on the carpet or on my sneaker.

How bout the time I was working in the Newborn nursery when one of the nurses picked up one of the babies and just as she said this baby is sooooo cute the baby projectile vomited right into her mouth….
Super disgusting! Caught my tween son using the wall next to our family computer as his personal booger location! I was grossed out, freaked out and SOOOOO disappointed! Made him clean up the mess, write a note of apology and promise to never do it again and he lost computer privileges for three days! Just when you thought you had seen it all! You would think that you only need wet wipes for YOUNG children! Guess I was wrong!
This happened a few years ago when my son was around 1. It was before the rotovirus vaccine and he ended up getting very sick. Diarrhea for days and days. One day he just wasn’t stopping. At the time, I had my pack and play in my “good” living room and I always changed him on the pack and play. There is was, all cute with his blue eyes and blonde hair. He was still very happy even though he was pooping so much. I had him on the changing table, diaper off, getting some more wipes. And then it happened…diarrhea comes out of his butt and goes flying everywhere! Made worse by the fact that I had him in the wiping butt position which made it easier to just squirt out! Oh, did I mention the very light beige carpeting in that room? Well, it was now covered in yellow diarrhea. Got the rug shampooer out very quickly after that one.
