horrible night last night

Ds (3) had night #3 of coughing ALL.NIGHT.LONG.  Needless to say, none of us slept.  It's just so frustrating that there is nothing to do about it.  We do the vaporizer, vicks vaporub, honey....none of it seems to work.  Called the pedi yesterday to see if they would ok a cough suppressant, but no.  I guess it's good prep for when baby #2 comes...LOL...no sleep till......2020.

that stinks! 

try hot jello.  One package of jello (my girls like strawberry) with one cup of boiling water.  Wait for it to cool enough to drink.  It feels so good on the throat and for me at least it seems to coat the throat so I don't cough.  we've tried all those other things too and this is the only thing that works for us!

I hope you get some sleep soon!

try doing a hot steam shower before bedtime.  Run the shower as hot as you can for 5-10 min. with the bathroom door closed and no fan.  Have your little one stand in there untill the steam goes away.  Another trick is to prop up your little one's upper body w/ several pillows.  Sleeping almost sitting up may help with the coughing.  Good luck!
