  Hubs bought this since it's been so cold here, it might work for your lo's chapping.

  DD hates the nose frida but we hold her down and do it anyways... At least she can breath afterwards! I think someone on here suggested putting Vicks on a towel and then putting the towel under the fitted sheet of the crib? DD had a cold last week and we put a little bit on her chest, and then also put some on her feet and put socks over it... She sleeps pretty well regardless, but I think it made her feel better.

  Boo colds suck! N has had one ever since Christmas Eve, and he's just finally not a snotty mess all the time. I recommend Boogie Wipes (https://www.boogiewipes.com/) for wiping. They have aloe and vitamin E and have really prevented chapped skin under his nose. He still hates getting his nose wiped, but at least it isn't painful. I hope your DD feels better soon!!

  We use AYR for her nose, I got it from my doctor but I have heard you can get it OTC.  It's just a saline gel that I put on at night to keep her nose from crusting up overnight.  It seems to work.  We also use the humidifier and bought a vicks plug in to use in her room.  It's right by her crib so that helps.

  Humidifier, saline, and nosefrieda are what we do. She hates the nosefrieda but like PP we do it anyway. When she has a cold we use it twice a day. I put either lotion or aquaphor on the outside of her nose to help with dryness.

  This. Vicks baby rub is awesome! I put a bit on the bottoms of her feet, chest and back. I don't know what it is about the feet, but it works! We have had about a million colds already here, and there isn't much you can do other than this and Tylenol/ibuprophen. Ibuprophen especially works when she has a sore throat, or if her sinuses are hurting from being congested. I hope she feels better soon!

  I bought saline drops for his nose. You just squirt a couple in and it works great! If he has a cold I squirt a couple in his nose before bed. It is similar to nasal saline irrigations for adults but without the irrigation.
