3 week old congested

My 3 week old has been congested over the last couple days; we tried nasal drops and putting him in a steamy shower room but his still wheezing. It sounds like his got phlegm and need to spit it out but obviously can’t. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Yes, this was common. Because their nasal passage is so small it sounds more exaggerated but as long as you've used the saline spray and keep the cot slightly elevated or hold them up as much as you can they'll be fine x

This saved us when he had a cold early on!!! It plays music too so makes into a little game.

Have your tried nasal aspiration after a bath? There’s good NHS advice on cupping and massages to help clear their airways here: https://plr.cht.nhs.uk/download/274/A%20Guide%20to%20Airway%20Clearance%20Techniques%20in%20Babies%20A4

Thoughts on our baby name🙏🏻

We love the name Roscoe, I first put it to my partner when we originally found out we were having a baby. I have loved the name for years from the song Roscoe by Midlake which is where I originally heard it. The song itself is so lovely, and having looked up its meaning, his name means ‘roe deer’ or ‘forest’ of an old Norse definition. Recently since telling a few friends and family we have had nothing but backlash which has now made me reconsider. People saying it’s a dogs name, although our dog is called Henry😆 and just generally disliking the name. Just wondering what people’s thoughts on the name are.

Positive elective C section stories please.

Bit of background.
I had an tramatic emergency c section with my 1st (under general) resulting in a weeks stay in hospital.

Now..37wk with GD and they have brought me forward to deliver via elective next week due to him measuring over 8lb allready!

Can’t help but worry due to what me and baby went through with my 1st and also worried staying in hospital for a long time due to having a 3yr old at home.

So any positive stories to try put my mind at rest would be great!
Thanks x
