Gretchen.....
Gretchen has her 1st cold!!! :( She has a runny nose and a cough!!!.. I am just doing lots of fuilds and rest! She isnt really hungrey so i am thinking about giving her water or some juice, to keep her hydrated.. She is sleeping in our bed at night but during the day she perferrs to sleep in her swing... I am trying to keep it warm and quite in the house so she can rest and doesnt fee like she is missing anything... If she feels like she is missing something she wont go to sleep!! She is still a very happy baby... Smiling and laughing!!! She started her cough the other day and started a runny nose yesterday.. So i would say she offically got her cold yesterday! Any other advice,besides rest and fuilds??

Gavon has had like 3 colds so far. I use saline spray to keep his nose clear and the bulb from the hospital. Don't change your formula - you can add cereal to help it stay on her stomach - she may spit up more with snot drainage. If she runs a fever you can mix your formula with pedialyte or give pedialyte straight. Water and juice are really not going to help her at this age. SHe may want to sleep in her swing to help breathe and use a cool mist humidifier.I rub my chest with baby vicks and hold Gavon so he can breathe it when he has a hard time with the cough. Use tylenol if she is really fussy or for fever - if it gets bad - call your doc.
