very poorly baby, any ideas??
of what I can do to help?
Gabe is so ill, has a terrible cold and cough, runny poo, and is teething too as the bottom 2 teeth look like they are going to pop through any minute. He wont really be put down at all and even when he's being walked round with, he still cries. The only way I could get him to sleep was to put his carseat by the washing machine and rock it. White noise - works miracles!!
I know this sounds awful but I'm dreading him waking up. He's not taking much milk (has had about 13oz so far today) as he can't breathe or swallow properly. A lot of the milk spills out his mouth even though he is trying. He's not interested in food either and as for playing...forget it, lol. I was going to put him in his baby carrier but oh has got the car & its there...grrrr
It just feels like its 1 thing after another at the mo - colds, teething, coughs, tummy aches, eczema. I know this should be the last thing on my mind but when am I gonna get my happy baby boy back!!!
Has anyone got any ideas what I can do to help? I'm just giving calpol atm and will probably put some snuffle babe on at night.

i give my los mediced when they have a bad cold as it helps them sleep and recover,
hope he is well soon hun. xx
How about making the bathroom all steamy and taking him in there - the theory is that it will help him to breath better. And give him water to ensure he doesn't get dehydrated
Also his cot mattress is raised at night hon.
Hope you get your happy Gabe back soon!
Love Lee

As you know from my other post I have a grumpy lo too and I know how you feel.
Poor little Gabe, I really feel for him (and you).
You sound like you are doing all you can to comfort him and I could only suggest Calpol or Calprofen - which I'm sure you have done.
I hope he gets better soon xxxx
For his nose i did find taking him into a steamy room for 15 minutes helped a bit, as well as Karvol and his mattress raised. Even though his cold is gone he still has a snotty nose and is being really grumpy at the mo so think he has teeth coming through too.
I saw that Gabes development check went well, cant remember if I responded as I was away but glad everythings ok.

He's finally gone down in his cot, I hope he sleeps tonight! xx
Mumdonna hope you had a good time, welcome back x
(((Hugs to both of you)))
He has gone to sleep now - i know he won't sleep through - but hope he at least has a few hours! x
I hope the poor wee thing is feeling better soon.

You can get a plug in thing by Calpol that is to help clear a stuffy nose and it is a lovely calming smell, may be worth a try. They sell them at Tescos and probably at the chemists too.
I agree though if he isn't much better soon then I would get him checked out by your GP just to be sure, and checking his temp is a good idea too.
If it is his teeth causing more of the problem try Calprofen rather than calpol as I have found it loads more effective.
Really hope he is feeling better soon! x
