Sick baby :(

Just venting a little. My little sweetheart had a runny/snotty nose when I picked him up from DC on Friday. I picked him up early to get his 2-month shots which we proceeded with (I wanted him to be home for the subsequent days so I could take care of him instead of a DCP, know what I mean?). We set up the cool mist humidifier that night but he slept little bc he was soo congested and ran a slight fever. He now has a cough that induces vomitting and when I suctioned his nose on the changing table yesterday, I sucked out a chunk of bugars and then he threw up...a.lot. It was like the mucous was in his throat and made him gag or something. Today he's had blood in his mucous which apparently is normal and he took a long azz nap from 1-5 and has been napping again for about 30 minutes now.

My poor baby. We go in for his two-month checkup on Tues so if anything still persists, I'm sure the pedi will treat it. I just hate when they're sick you know? So sad and pitiful. I don't want to send him to DC tomorrow...it will definitely be a day when I visit my poor baby on my lunch break. I know there are other mamas of sick babies on here. Same symptoms? How are you treating LO?

L has had a stuffy nose for about a week now, but definetely got worse this weekend. I've been using saline nose drops to loosen everything up and sucking out his nose at every diaper change. He seems to be starting to feel a little bit better.

I hope your LO feels better soon!

Guess I gotta invest in some saline. I really hope our LOs start feeling better tomorrow. GL with the pedi, mittens.

It's so hard when they're sick, they seem so sad and pathetic. We all just got over a cold, baby included, and now my older DD has been up all night with another cough. I hope everyone's LOs are feeling better soon!

If you're BFing, you can dribble a few drops of milk into their nose instead of the saline drops. I expressed a little milk and have been using an eyedropper to get it in there and loosen things up.

Aw - poor little guy! I hope he starts to feel better!

A has been stuffy since Wednesday night and today his eyes started watering. He isn't eating as much as normal. We use saline and suck the bugars out whenever he sounds really congested. He slept a little but now he's wide awake...I'm worried this will be a very long night. We're going back to the Pedi tomorrow because this doesn't seem to be getting better.

Oh poor thing. I was thinking about you guys yesterday . Hope the baptism went well. Such a bummer he wasn't feeling well on his special day.
