Baby's First Cold

[lmariana]

Well, it's official! Gabriel has his first cold. Poor little guy. He isn't running a temp., but his nose is very stuffy and runny. I've been trying the Little Noses spray, but it's not doing anything for him. Any ideas? He's just so miserable!

This is probably way too late, and you've probably weathered this one, but we use a vaporizer in the room, prop him up at night to sleep (several towels under the mattress) and use the spray with a vaccuum bulb (we call it the snot snatcher). Using the spray alone doesn't get the stuff out, you have to suction it out, as well.

I hope Gabriel is feeling better now!
