Baby has blocked nose :( ......
Morning Girls!
Jaimi-Lee has a cold
Her nose is blocked and she sounds all stuffy. She is a bit unsettled as she cant take dummy as she cant breathe and also feeding her her bottle was a nightmare this morning and she was choking. She keeps sneezing too. Me and hubby haven't been well for past few days so think shes picked it up
Is there anything i can give her? Im thinking maybe only Vicks Vapour Rub?? Also, i have sat her in her bouncer for a sleep rather than in her pram as i thought maybe sitting up with help clear her nose, will that work? I know with myself that when i sit up my nose clears.
Wish there was more i can do for her

You could try saline nasal drops, i found they really helped with my little one. you have to put one drop up each nostril about half an hour before she is due for a feed.

definately agree with the saline nosedrops - you can get them from a chemist. Also agree with snuffle babe though we use boots own - it's a vapour rub suitable from 3 months. If you can raise one end of her cot while she sleeps it will help - napping in her chair is a great idea.
You could try making the bathroom really steamy and take her in there.
Hope she's feeling better soon
