Sick baby

jabeauty90 · October 2015

My older two kids, 6 & 2 1/2, have been sick and I've tried my hardest to keep them away from baby. Unfortunately my 2 1/2 doesn't listen too well and now the baby is sick.
What are helpful remedies? I tried saline drops but he started choking. Also tried to squirt breast milk up there but that was a failed attempt. We just got out of the bathroom for a 20 min sauna session.

Humidifier and saline drops are my go to. Hope LO feels better soon.

I used the saline spray rather than the drops b/c I suck with nasal aspirators. It worked really well, but I found it better to have someone else hold DD while I used the spray. Ditto the humidifier.

Use the saline spray while in a boucey chair, and use a nosefrida (it's a nose snot sucker, it sounds gross but works great!) . My other son had choking issues with the saline too when he was little.
