    I'm so sorry to hear that!

    Being an ftm i'd take her to the hospital, i know that there isn't much they can give an infant but just to put my mind at ease + they might tell you it's ok to giver her adol just so she'd be comfortable enough to sleep a bit,

    i hope she feels better soon

    Do you have a nosefrida? That thing saved my life with my 1st child.

    Other than that let LO sleep on an incline, saline and humidifier. Hope it passes quickly!

    I second the nosefrida! Love it. My LO has been snotty lately so before bed and in the morning I use Little Remedies saline spray and then suck out the gunk with the nosefrida. I usually do 3 cycles of spray and then suck. It was amazing the first time I used it - who knew the amount of snot you can get out of such a little nose! I notice him sleeping longer at night and he's feeding better in the morning after our booger routine.

    The thought of the nosefrida makes me gag... is it not as gross as it seems or do you guys just have strong stomachs?

    We used just a regular "snot sucker" we call them! The nose Frida grosses me out too much! And used a cool mist humidifier! Not much else you can use for LO! It's so sad to see them sick!!

    Lol. It's not as gross as it seems. I was pretty disgusted when I received it as a gift. But after days of him not sleeping or eating well (I could see and hear the boogers) I caved. Now in some weird mama way I kind of enjoy sucking his snot out.

    My husband, on the other hand, is still afraid of the thing.
