Sick Baby cold

CountingUp

I don't think there's much more pathetic than a good natured baby who is feeling crappy. She's a trooper. A sniffly, sneezing, coughing trooper.

I despise baby colds. They are pitiful. Lucas had one for two weeks. He finally got better and has it again. His voice even changes. He is a better sick person than I am! Hope your LO feels better soon! We put a rolled towel under his mattress and have the humidifier on. We also saline spray his nose.

How much lift did you give the mattress?

Otherwise: steamy showers:check. humidifier: check. saline drops: check

I used a regular thinner bath towel and rolled it. It's not enough were he will roll down hut enough to lift his head a bit. Seems to help aside from when he speds half the night the wrong way, making his boogies drip up!

Hope your LO feels better soon. The little cough and hoarse whine is definitely heartbreaking.

What a long night!

We hadn't elevated A's mattress before bed so I ended up sleeping with her on my arm in bed.

My husband and A both coughing off and on for hours!

Husband's parents are likely to get an earful from him when they come over today. There were here, with colds a week ago and his mom stuck her finger in A's mouth to feel her first tooth! If I'd known that she had a cold I would have stopped it. It's confirmed, there is no common sense left in this world.
