My 28 seeker now a year is sick

She is very congested with a runny nose...no fever. Do I call the Drs on Monday? Is she still at risk for RSV? This is her first time being sick and im not sure what to think a year out?!?!

I wouldn't call if she's just having cold symptoms.  Any baby could be at risk for RSV but being one year already, she's likely able to handle it easier than a younger infant.  Check the RSV info post at the top of the page.  If it seems to be more than a cold and/or she's have difficulty breathing, I wouldn't hesitate to call.  Unfortunately at this age common colds are so very common.  My twins have always handled them with no issues (besides a couple ear infections).

((I responded assuming she doesn't have any lingering respiratory issues))

She doesn't have resp issues.  Thank you.  Im just stressed bc her twin sisters are home and they were a month early and haven't hit their due date yet.  I dont want all three to get really sick hopefully it just stays a cold and bf will protect her sisters:)

Because of your others, I might call tomorrow if she isn't better just to get pedis advice.
