In the same boat! Saline nasal spray and snot sucker! And the calpol vapour plug

As above and I also put her in her next to me on a tilt (down towards the feet end) to help with congestion

I'm the same! I use the saline nasal drops instead of the spray, I did nasal rinse when she was having too much snot and was bothering her too much.
I use the bulb suction thing for the snot, the calpol plug, I have the vaporub for the day and since she was having a dry, tickly cough that was waking her up I am giving her boots cough syrup and it has helped a lot!

Thank you so much guys. I’ve heard really good things about Asda vapor bath too xxx

100% recommend the Nose Frida! So satisfying and works so well for baby 😊 we’re just coming out the other side of the cold now and we’re using CalCough for his cough, which seems to be working 😊

thank you so much. How long did it last for, for you? Did you find more night wake ups? Xxx

it started last Monday/Tuesday with a blocked nose, but I reckon he was feeling under the weather the day before as he was very out of sorts! So we’ll be coming up two weeks! Yeah he’s been waking up struggling to breathe through his nose and also the cough has been waking him too! 😞 xx
