BTDT Moms - 6 Month old has a cold
I feel so bad for Sean.
He has a cold - Is there anything I can do for him?
(I called the Ped and am waiting for a call back) -
I don't think he needs to be seen - No fever, he's his usual happy self - Just a runny nose and stuffed nose and a little bit of a cough - it's not in his chest though ........
Of course - I start back at work TOMORROW !!

If his nose is stuffy I would bring him in the bathroom and close the door and run the hot water so that it steams up the entire bathroom. Sit with him in there for a good 15 mins to 20 mins. It will help alot. Feel better Sean!

Re: BTDT Moms - 6 Month old has a cold
My DS had a cold also at 6 months!! Same thing, his usual happy self but with a stuffy / runny nose. Brought him in to the Ped twice. Both times since his lungs wee clear they did nothing. Told me to keep using the saline spray. It lasted about 2 weeks. But it went away on his own. It actually bothered me more then him!!!!
Oh and they also told me to use the vapor bath soap.

I agree with this.
Also keep sucking out the snot with an aspirator. DD has the exact same cold right now. She's a snot factory. lol
Feel better Sean!

That's what I figured - it's just in his nose, not his chest at all ......I don't want to drag him into the Ped w/ kids who ARE sick for no real reason - KWIM??
Hopefully this Dr. calls me back soon !
What do you do w/ the saline spray?
It just helps break up the stuffiness?
His nose is runny - so I guess that won't do anything - huh?

My DD wasn't either, at first. But she's had this cold for over two weeks now and it really does make a huge difference when there's no snot in there, so she tolerates it very well now. Doesn't even get upset anymore. lol
