Vic, there is a spray you can get to help clear her nose - comes with a suction thing to help clear her nose manually - think it's Fess Little Noses. if she appears to be in pain or starts spiking a fever with it, then panadol. baby vicks on her feet to help her breathe as well. offer food and drink whenever (as much fresh fruit and veg as she'll take i guess) and give LOTS of snuggles. from memory you're a BF mummy - if you're still BF, offer boob more often - your immune system will help boost hers.
E hasn't really had any colds yet (touch wood) - she did get nasty snots for about half a day before the last two teeth broke through though...
have been in stealth mode on here (or so it feels) this past little while. still reading, but feel i have nothing to say. am starting work tomorrow, and the anxiousness has started to hit today. i feel mostly ok, and that makes me feel guilty! shouldn't i feel horrible about leaving E? i guess i know she'll be ok, it's only two days a week, we need me to go back (financially) - but up til last night, it just felt like nothing was happening, i wasn't upset or anything - and i felt bad for it. today is different - today i am nervey and anxious - so obviously i'm not the heartless biatch i was thinking myself to be 24hours ago!
