Hi Guys,
My little baby girl has got a bit of a cold I think! Runny noise (not too bad), small cough and a few sneezes. Her temp is ok and she is BF fine. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to make her more comfy? I don't think there is much I can do for her but I just thought I would ask!!
Thanks!!
you can use fess nasal spray to help her keep her nostrils clear, but other than that just let it run it's course :) if she does get a temp you can use baby panadol from 1mth old.
Love
When Abbey had her cold (she had one when she was about 3 weeks and again about 7) I also raised the head of the bassinet a little to help limit how much mucous would drain down her throat (eewww) and I gave her as much tummy time as I could during the day to help anything in the nose flow out (she HATED the Fess and still does - cries as soon as she sees it!). If your little girl get a stuffy nose you could stand in a steamy room with her as well.
My doctor recommended eucabear on a tissue or cloth and putting it under the sheets at bedtime (don't put it on her skin). I never went down that path though.
Other than that - lots of cuddles from Mummy!
HTH and hope she recovers quickly!
