hi ladies,

so our lil ones are 9 months old.  have any of your babies been sick yet with a common cold or anything else?


if so what did you do to help relieve their pain and yucky feeling?

jaedyn has a cold with a temp that wont go under 100.  its staying at 101.5 pretty consistently and he has gone to the doctors 2 times but they say theres nothing that can be done.

I'm pretty lucky actually, Lucy has has had a few colds, (and gastro) but nothing that has required medicene or anything other than a little extra breast milk. We ended up in emergency because we were worried about dehydration (with the gastro) and we stayed overnight and she turned out to be fine!

well mckenna  has had  an ear infection  croup   and serve asthma attacks ( that landed her in the  Hasbro  childrens  for two days) and a few colds here or there ( see what happens when u have  older children who  bring it home from  school :) .  I would just say  u can  alternate mortin and tyelnol to  help the  fever stay  down and just  keep him comfy .  
  if he is stuffy  elvate his mattress  on  one in the  crib  by placing  somethig  underneath it and  run a humdifier ( sp?) or vaporizer that   might help that is what we have to  do with my lil peanut   is he  has running  stuffy nose u can  use  blue  blub  syringe and  gently  suck  the stuff out . ( it help is  u  mist them with lil  saline nos spray "lil noses" that always seemed to help  my peanut and watch for any  ear pulling and such .  i took mckenna  back and  forth to the  doctor  almost two weeks  until  they finally  saw that she had an  ear infection  so  sometimes it is  so tricky with the lil ones who can really show u  or tell u what is wrong
hope he feels better  soon  good luck

Hi,

Michaela only sick once with croup - she was admitted to the hospital with trouble breathing.  Treatment was only supportive (meds to help her breathe), fluids, rest.

Other than that only some slight colds. Hard when our children are sick.
