Sick and traveling.

And I am on the road again with baby. This is his fifth trip and so far his eighth flight. I think it finally caught up with is though. C is so congested. AZ is really dry and windy right now so things are blooming and dying. It's awful. My sinuses are killing me and poor C is all stuffed up and runny nosed. I feel so bad for him. I tried using the ball syringe but its too dry and nothing comes out. A friend suggested saline drops but I'm terrified to squirt anything up his nose. He's been crying so much because of the ball syringe and wiping that he is now so gassy he's screeching when he lays down. I try to give him the Mothers Bliss but he gags and spats a ton. Then screams more and it breaks my heart. Right now he's sleeping on his side with his forehead against my pillow. I'm not going to leave him his way but I'm pumping and was super whimpery while I was starting. I feel so badly for my lil boy. Anyone have any good suggestions? We're steaming, sucking yucky out as best we can, and trying to feed when he's feeling better since he won't as soon as he gets stuffed up. I think he might've lost a few ounces in the last two days I feel so bad for him!

    Use the saline drops. We use them and the bulb and it really helps DD.

    Saline drops!! Use them all the time, they are natural and help to get stuff out. Use the NoseFrieda too...not the bulb, that thing hurts!

    We sprayed nose drops and sucked it out with the Nose Frida and spray it one more time... within a day

    Hi! Sorry I suck and haven't been around.

    Anyway - definitely the saline drops. You can get ones that are just drops, not an actual spray. Caleb hates them with a passion, but they help. And it actually helps to give them to him when he's crying,
