    My Children are 3 and 6 and we really need this right now. We are in the middle of cold and flu season and despite our best efforts to boost our family immunity we are still getting struck down by nasty bugs and chills.

  2. Mumoftwins2 21/06/2018 at 3:02 pm

    I would love to trial this for my 4 year old twins. Last year my boy had a cough for months and nothing seemed to work. Now my daughter has a cough which doesn’t want to go away. This would be perfect timing if I could try this. Thanks

  3. Michelletrueman 21/06/2018 at 3:01 pm

    I would love to try this. My 8yr old seems to have a never ending cough so I would love to give this a go in the hopes it helps.

  4. Syboo 21/06/2018 at 3:00 pm

    Yes please. I would love to try this for my 4 year old twins. They constantly have a cold over winter as they pick up every bug that goes around at kindy. I am horrified of the thought that the cough develops into pneumonia again like last year!

  5. Kmhedges 21/06/2018 at 2:52 pm

    My girls are 5 and 7 we would love to trial this as we havnt found a good cough medicine that actually works yet! And it seems like they are forever getting sick from school especially in the winter .

  6. Bridget77 21/06/2018 at 2:50 pm

    would love the chance to try this. My 11 year old has autism & its quite hard to find something he will take. He gets quite upset when he is coughing at night as well! This would be awesome to try! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

  7. Louloud88 21/06/2018 at 2:49 pm

    I would love to trial it with my 5 year old daughter

  8. Shorrty4life1 21/06/2018 at 2:49 pm

    Yes please I have two children one is 7years and other is 4years. They are at kindy and school so tend to pick up alot of coughs and colds. Sometimes they like to be generous and share them with mummy and daddy so would would love this on hand this winter to kick it when they start getting a cough.

  9. Jaqui 21/06/2018 at 2:46 pm

    My daughter is 5 years old. I have never really used cough syrups as I get anxious with the amount of ingredients in them. I would be very keen to try something with homeopathic extracts in it! Many thanks

  10. courtneyevans91 21/06/2018 at 2:45 pm

    I would love to try this on our 7 year old who always seems to pick up a nasty cough!

  11. Dovedale88 21/06/2018 at 2:44 pm

    Yes please I would love to trial this product with my 6 year and 4 year old,
    The 4 year old is always getting sick from kindy, and I have been looking for a cough mixture that will work for her

  12. ylawrence12 21/06/2018 at 2:43 pm

    My son has always got a chest cough around winter. Have been to the doctors and tried mostly everything. This would be amazing to have in my house for him. And also having a daughter with athmas.

  13. Emmzip 21/06/2018 at 2:42 pm

    We would love to try this in our house hold. I have 3 children aged 5, 4 and 2. We are always looking for options to help ease coughs and colds. Please pick us to review the child life cough medicine

  14. Moongurl 21/06/2018 at 2:42 pm

    Our family would love to try this cough syrup out. In our family unfortunately we seem to be quite succeptible to all the bugs going round. So we are often coughing. My son is 4. We would love to be considered. Thank you

  15. KarenB 21/06/2018 at 2:41 pm

    Mr3.5 HATED the cough syrup I bought for him last winter! As a “Heart Kid” he’s susceptible to coughs and colds and I love the look of the ingredients of this one.

  16. fefifofum 21/06/2018 at 2:41 pm

    Ooooh yes please, I have just had my two (5 & 10 years) get over a nasty cough. Coughs seem to be tricky to relieve especially at night times, there’s only so much Honey & Lemon, Eucaplytus, vicks rub that can be given/applied…..

    We do use Kiwiherb formula (and their rub formula) although would be great to try a different product to see how this supports the kiddies illnesses.

    I like the sound of it being well researched and has homeopathic extracts.

  17. ekchurchill@gmail.com 21/06/2018 at 2:39 pm

    This sounds great. My daughter started school this year and they’re doing swimming lessons in term 3 – right in the middle of winter!! I can definitely see us having cause to try this out, more than once!!

  18. CreativeMum 21/06/2018 at 2:39 pm

    We’ve tried a few different cough syrups which did absolutely nothing so would be keen to try this. Our little man has had a cough off and on for the whole winter – particularly at night – so it would be good for us all to get some relief from his coughing! Thanks so much

  19. rochelleg 21/06/2018 at 2:38 pm

    My 2 year old son is such a fuss pot when it comes to medicine. I have tried all the herbal brands because that is all the chemist is willing to sell me for a 2 year old but he can smell those ‘weird’ medicines a mile away. I would love to be able to trial this is the hope that he will happily accept this medicine for when he has his moments of coughing a lot. Failing that my 11 year old would have no issues using this for her sudden late night coughs

  20. kellyhellcat 21/06/2018 at 2:38 pm

    Oh yes please, I have a 5 and 7-year old and they are very prone to coughs over winter. With both at school now, I am battling the elements in and out of the classroom! I would like to review this as I have heard elderberry is very effective at boosting those much needed Vitamin C levels. Thanks!

  21. Rachel Griffiths 21/06/2018 at 2:38 pm

    With four children, 2 under 12 we seem to have more coughs and colds than usual already this winter. Think it is going to be a long winter. I would love to try this to see how effective it is for my younger children. Thanks

  22. kelznz 21/06/2018 at 2:37 pm

    I would really LOVE to trial this product! Both my kids have horrible coughs and do every winter. I’ve spent a small fortune trying to find a cough syrup that will help or relive their symptoms and they either don’t work or the kids hate the taste so much they gag and spit it out!
    I just bought a $30 tonic from the health shop this week and they won’t even drink it mixed with apple juice 🙁

  23. helibabi 21/06/2018 at 2:37 pm

    Yes please. I have a 3.5 year old kindy girl so she’s always around sick kiddies and sadly run the risk of catching colds ourselves.

  24. Micht 21/06/2018 at 12:50 pm

    We would like the opportunity to trial this please.. our daughters tend to get small sniffles and colds and so are prone to a bit of a cough which takes a while to go and causes them to wake at times… besides panadol for when they have a fever, i can never find a good cough mixture for their ages. I have a 5yr old and an almost 2 year old… this would be a lifesaver if it works well and they get soothed..

  25. Ashleigh 21/06/2018 at 12:26 pm

    We have been using your products a lot recently and loving them all so would love to try this cough syrup, we have used kiwiherb in the past but would love to try this and compare! We are using a humidifier at the moment but only have 1 to share between 4 kids bedrooms so this would be great for my older 2 which have that annoying lingering night time cough at the moment

  26. Yasminn 21/06/2018 at 12:21 am

    I would love the chance to try this for my 1 year old boy. He’s had a cough from his cold that just wont get shaken off!

  27. Hannah Rutland 20/06/2018 at 10:41 pm

    I would love to trial this as my 2.5yr old really loves to share germs with everyone. As a typical toddler she gets coughs frequently, especially as we are coming into the middle of winter. Would love to trial this to see if it will actually help relieve it!

  28. Stevieave 20/06/2018 at 9:57 pm

    Coughs are the story of my life lately. Would love to try this with my kids and pray that it actually gives them some relief and that they’d like the taste.

  29. Kayeew 20/06/2018 at 4:15 pm

    This would be a life saver for my 4 year old daughter as she’s been coughing alot especially in the early mornings and evenings.. I have bought cough Syrups for her to try but nothing seem to work on her so far.. Winter doesn’t help too as she likes to play outside at preschool and it’s easy to get sick from outdoor play.. So I would really love to try this product out and hopefully this works on her so I can tell my mummy friends about it. 🙂

  30. kiran 20/06/2018 at 2:30 pm

    I please really need this cough syrup for my daughter summer who is 13 months old. Its really hard sometimes to see your baby coughing throughout the night. This cough syrup will help me to help my baby with coughing. Thanks
