@Lauren I have one of these too but scared to use it haha x
Use it I was the same but it’s great I was shocked what came out haha but cleared his nose x
A few things that can help: - Saline drops followed by nasal aspirator. Babies can’t clear their noses themselves so they need us to do it for them! I do this when mine has a cold around 10 minutes before nursing - Feed little and often. Offer feeds more frequently as baby might be able to take much in one go - Steam up the bathroom and sit in there together so baby can breathe in the steam which will help loosen everything - Humidifier in the room that baby sleeps in, again this can help loosen mucus etc - Vapour rub on chest and feet - Calpol - Babywearing during the day and propping up the cot with a book so baby isn’t completely flat Hope little one feels better soon!xx
That's rough - I feel your pain! My LO also caught a cold from us a couple of weeks ago. We used Calpol, Calpol saline spray, Calpol easy breathing plug in for the nights and a nose sucker, which were really effective. I hope your LO feels better soon. X
I was told they all have colds at the moment. What are you hoping a Dr will suggest? Calpol sounds like a good plan. Also nasal saline drops might help
