Capol Vapor plug in

Hi mama , My LB is 5weeks plus today , got the saline spray to help clear his nose , but this gives relief only for hours . I would not want to apply it as often as this could as well dry out his nose. Looking to get the capol plug in as this seems to be effective but my concern is it says 3months plus and my boy is 5weeks .what do I do mamas ?. 🤦🏽‍♀️plus I cannot see any snot merely looking through his little lovely nostrils,Bless him , but his breathing indicates otherwise ?

Have you tried a humidifier? That can help the drainage

I know a humidifier refreshers the air , will it add moist to the room/walls ( prevent anything that will attract mold )?

Mold will only grow if the room exceeds 60% of humidity and we clean the humidifier every 2 days and I like to only use distilled water so it doesn’t create mineral buildup

I also like to have an air purifier in each room

hmmm . I will look these up now .

Thanks .

I hope this helps… oh and you could get Vicks baby tabs and some humidifier have a little place for them and it’s like the capol plug in

the capol plug in can I use it despite being 5weeks?

I use baby vicks oil and put some on a tissue near his bedside, seems to help. My health visitor advised it x

I would ask your pediatrician

Thanks . I would ring my HV tomorrow on this .

Thanks all . Would ring my health visitor tomorrow. Had baby while running bath , the steam did help relieve him and now Sleeping .

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
