baby waking at night from cold...

When your LO wakes up because they are stuffy or coughing what do you do? Do you use the bulb or just try to rock them back to sleep?

    We are going through this right now. Usually I first try just soothing him back to sleep. Usually that works but he may wake up a few minutes later. If that happens I use the bulb and then have to soothe him. Last night I put him in his swing and left it off and he slept like a champ.

    One night was so bad that I had to bring him in the bathroom and turn the hot water on. I used the Frida which works 10x better than any bulb. DS still didn't like it and cried but i got more out all at once. I would add a couple saline drops in first, though.

    Coming in late on this but I use the saline drops/nosefrieda routine before bed.

    Then I put the humidifier in his room for about 3 hours after.

    So far so good...

    Only if it were really bad would I go into the bathroom.  First I try to sooth, then I use saline.  But did you all know you dn't have to necessarily suck their noses?  Sometimes just the saline is enough....

    And I keep the humidifier on HIGH!
