Baby is sick wwyd

He doesn't have a fever but he does a cough and a stuffy nose and I don't know what to do, the nose sucker isn't working as well as I would like and I don't know how to make him better, gonna try a steam room in the bath room again it seemed to work the other day. He's having a little trouble eating and I am thinking about calling a doctor but it seems stupid to call a doctor for a little cold, and for the most part he eats fine

You could use a humidifier in his room, put some moisture in there to help him breathe better.

You can steam the bathroom and give him a bath in there where it's warm. That helps my LO's stuffy nose (newborn congestion). You can also put a few drops of saline up each nostril and then let it run through. Normally, when you sit them up they should sneeze and you can suck any goo out with the aspirator. Sorry your LO is sick.

My son had a cold last week and I took him to the doctor. Since he is only 10 weeks they did a chest x-ray to make sure it was nothing more serious. You should call just to be certain it is nothing major (even though its probably just a cold).

My LO is sick too

 

The cool mist humidifier helped a lot, she woke up this morning soooo much better! Still a little congested but nothing compared to yesterday! I also took a really hot shower and put her in ther bathroom with me, in the rock n play. That seemed to help too!

 

I hope your LO feels better soon!
