Colds?
I think phoebe has a cold as her nose is snotty and full of crusty bogies. Her breathing actually woke me up the other night as she was so bloked up. It frightened the life out of me as it sounded like she couldn't breath. She isn't hot, hasn't got a temperature and is sleeping inbetween feeds so im not sure if i should be worried. Is there anything i can do to help clear her nose? ?

we have got the exact the same thing with our baby who is 6 weeks old, hes had a cold since birth and been to the docs 3 times who have told me each time that he is fine, chest is clear etc. anyway, its that bad i cant sleep because of the noise's he makes its really distressing and being all colded up makes him sick after a bottle, so ive propped his moses basket up slightly with a pillow and bought one of those plug in things that sends menthol around the room for children. it all seems to be helping a bit which after 6 weeks is better than nothing!!

Violet is the same and I have been squirting saline drops into her nose, which makes her sneeze out the most hideous bogies!!!

LouBlue- You can get the drops at the pharmacy out here so would guess you can get them at the pharmacy in the UK too. Spoke to my midwife today and she said you can also get a thing like a small balloon that sucks the snot out! She said you can buy that at the pharmacy too so think I will be sending my oh out for one!!

Cole seems a lot better now - hope all the other lo's are doing better, although I know when Cole stops snuffling at night i'll be up every time I wake to make sure he's still breathing.. at least while he's snuffly I can hear his breathing!
