Stuffy Nose, What to do?

littlecorazon · January 2010

My poor little DD is breathing so hard. She has her first cold :-( I've tried the bugger sucker thing and I have the humidifier going but it's not helping...any suggestions welcomed! I just wish I could take it away from her...she can't even sleep.

O no! I'm sorry. When Mia had her first cold at 8 months she wouldnt eat or sleep. I felt so bad for her. I took her to the pedi and asked him to tell me how to help, even though you're supposed to wait it out with just a humidifier. He told us its ok to give Children's Dimatapp (Cold & Allergy) to give her some relief. The amount was dependent on weight. And I know 99% of people say you shouldnt give Dimatapp, but I trusted our pedi. It was so nice to see her get some sleep and be able to take a bottle. I'd ask your pedi what he/she thinks about OTC cold meds. Hope she gets better really really soon!?

Thanks. She is actually doing much better today. She is eating tons, more than ever. It was a rough night, she woke up almost every two hours. We sat in the bathroom with hot water running to take in the steam and it seem to work.

Good! Glad to hear she's better. DD has been sick too and it never gets easier to see them with a cold!

The saline nose drops worked wonders for B when she had her 1st cold. She hated it but it really helped with drainage. I think they are called Little Noses. Good luck!

this! It really helps to loosen it up for maximum boog-suckage with the aspirator.
