Hi Krisp, Charli has her second cold at the moment and it is really hanging around. She has a continuously stuffed up and running nose and she's got a pretty bad cough also. There are a few things I do to try and alleviate her congested nose. I have raised the mattress in the cot slightly, I've bought a vaporisor that I have on in her room at night time and it has a special eucalyptus oil you put in the water. Also when I went to the chemist in desperation he suggested I give her polaramine to help with clearing her congestion at night time and to help her sleep. I definately think that doing the combination of these three things has made a huge difference, and we are all sleeping better.
I really feel for you sweetie, I hope your bubba gets better soon.
Thanks for the replies ladies, it helps to know there are other babies who do not sleep out there. All the girls at playgroup but me seem to have perfect sleeping babies!
We have raised the matress up and it didn't make any difference at all. BUT, the good news is I got a vaporiser for her yesterday ande she was only up 3 times, twice for milk and once for a cuddle. I don't want to jinx myself but maybe she's getting better.....
I do have some Polaromine so perhaps I'll give that a go tonight.
