My 6 week old baby boy has a cough and cold :-(
in Baby
Besides saline drops, does anyone know if there's anything else he can have or I can do to help him?
I'm going to put a bowl of water over the radiators to moisten the air but not sure what else I can do?
I do have a snot thingy (sorry don't know what they're called!) in my Tommee Tippee grooming set, could anyone tell me how to use this properly please.
Thanks

We use the saline drops (fantastic things!), I tried the snot thing but found it a bit rubbish so whenever she sneezed or had a runny nose I just had to move quickly with a tissue/muslin to drag it out (yuck) lol.
We also placed a rolled up towel under her mattress to raise it slightly, and other times we placed two books under the legs of the moses basket to tilt it slightly,it seemed to help a little.
Hope he gets well soon xx
I've brought some saline drops so will use them later if needed. I've also brought a Karvol plug in, it does say not to use under 3 months but I was thinking that I could put it on for half an hour before going to bed and then turning it off as someone else suggested that this would be OK?
I noticed that he was getting a bit snuffly so I put a wet flannel on the radiator in the room which seems to have helped him.
I think I will try and raise the mattress in his crib tonight as he has been much better when raised slightly. If I can't get the crib rasied, I was thinking of letting him sleep in his boucer as he's rasied slightly in it rather than sitting if that makes sense? Do you think this would be OK?
