Three Lollies, the company behind the popular Preggie Pops, has recently developed a line of nausea-fighting lollipops for kids, Queasy Pops. They come in an assortment of flavors, Peppermint, Cinnamon, Natural Cola, Green Apple, Sour Raspberry, Sour Lemon and Papaya. The pops are all-natural, and the recipes are formulated with essential oils and flavors that have a proven track record for relieving tummy aches.
When I was expecting my second, I used Preggie Pops religiously throughout my first trimester. I found them to be surprisingly helpful. And while I wish the packaging were more kid-friendly and jazzy looking, the value isn’t in the wrapping, rather in what lies within. Kids are usually ripe for these sorts of things (in our house, the girls often request my special tummy medicine — seltzer), so I imagine that somewhere between the essential oils and the placebo effect, Queasy Pops are an effective remedy.
