Stinking cold... any ideas?
Hi there,
My 9 week old has come down with a stinking cold... joys of having a 3 yr old too as she brings nasties home from nursery that are unavoidable. Bless him though hes really bothered, runny nose and mucus on his chest, he uses a dummy at night and cant breathe so that wakes him even more than usual. He s also grazing more than usual as eating is hard work constantly stopping for breath. I have been giving him calpol as is directed for tiny ones but to be honest not sure its doing much for him.
I would be so grateful for any remedies that people have tried and proved effective... Just want to make him feel better

try taking him into a steamy bathroom that helps, also we put albas oil on a muslin in the bedroom, your not suppose to use it on them until 3 months but we put it away from him, also we have used plug ins but i think they are 3 months, there very strong so need to be away from bubs, you can get saline drops to help clear that are fine from birth
hope hes better soon x
when my dd has had colds in the past we've used carvol capsules, you drop them onto a muslin and hang it in their bedroom.
hope you little one feels well again soon x
Thanks again X
