So here in Milwaukee winter is really starting to kick in. Now that daycare is a part of everyday life for my family, the combination of the two leads to a cold for our son.
It is his first, and while he is the trooper he normally is, he is certainly not himself. He is sleeping more, eating less, sneezing, coughing, and snot is flowing all day long! We are entering day 4 this morning.
Outside of using the nasal aspirator on him, we aren't really doing much of anything else outside of checking his temp, which is fine. We are probably more bothered about it than he is!
Any suggestions from you dads on how you deal with the dreaded cold? We have the Vick's warm steam humidifier in his room, but he is very congested right now even with that.
Re: Baby's Got a Cold!!
Wife suggested the vapor rub on the foot yesterday. Maybe we will try that tonite.
One week is about what I figured....
Whenever you post over here it scare me. My wife's name is Megan, so when I see your handle I get the shakes I will let my Megan know about the boogie wipes...Thanks!
You get the shakes when she posts here too, huh? Just kidding honey!
Funny!!!
Thanks, dude!
Yeah, he is over it now. I have been off the grid the last week because the cold went from him to mommy, and now to daddy.
The boy is tough, I'll give you that. When we get to daycare on the morning, and all the other babies are crying, he looks around like he wants to ***-slap them all! Then he looks at me and smiles right before I leave.
My boy!!
