Cherry Stone Bags and Heat Packs
Cherry stone bags and hot water bottles for children: warming cushions, soft covers and small heat packs for tummy aches.
An old remedy that still works
A cherry stone bag warmed in the microwave holds its heat for around half an hour, which is usually long enough for a tummy ache to settle. Because the stones shift, the bag moulds itself to a child rather than sitting on top like a bottle. It can also be cooled in the freezer for bumps and bruises.
Using one safely
Warm the bag in short bursts and always check the temperature against your own wrist before it goes near a child. A soft cover keeps the heat gentle and makes the bag pleasant to hold. Never leave a warmed bag in a cot with a baby who cannot push it away on their own.
