Ughhhhh Help... Carlie is sick...

So... Carlie is 10 months and has a bad stuffy nose... She doesn't have a fever so I don't know if I should all the doctor...

What can they do for a stuffy nose? Anything?

I feel so bad for her... especially when she eats all I hear is her trying to breath and its so heavy...

Is there anything I can do? I have been doing that aspirator thingy, but its like torture for her... she hates it!

What else ladies... help me... this is the first time she has ever been sick...

TIA!

There is not much you can do for stuffy noses. The aspirator, Saline, turn the shower on and sit with her in the steam. Raise the head of her crib so the head is higher, to help drain, maybe vicks baby rub?
Hope Carlie is feeling better soon!

The only thing that I find that really works is taking them into a hot shower with me. It really cleans them out.

i don't think there's anything you can do!

loey has a terrible stuffed nose right now, and HATES it being wiped!

we use some saline drops (turn any saline spray upside down and it will just drop out) and then usually everything will come out with the next sneeze if you can't use the aspirator!

feel better carlie!

Thanks Ladies, everything posted is pretty much what I have been doing... I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Thanks again!
