Get some eucalyptus oil and put it on a hanky. Breathing it will help your nose clear. Also some eucalyptus cough drops, or some hot cordial with honey and fresh lemon juice added will make you feel heaps better. Lots of fluids as you are both breastfeeding and losing fluid with your cold. Remember you can take panadol which will make a difference to your stuffy head.

Other than that, prepare lots of food in one go (get snacks ready for the day and have some sandwiches prepared) so you don't have to repeatedly stand in the kitchen and prepare food. Have it ready in the fridge for quick retrieval when your toddler is hungry. Then wrap yourself up in the doona and watch a DVD, hopefully both children will have a nap and you can nod off too. Then count the hours until your DH is home and you can crawl off to bed.

Hope you feel better soon
