Same as above it’s not ideal but when they are poorly your comfort helps so much. Is she will sleep on you let her, you can re-set once everyone is better xx
@CeeCee thank you! I’ve managed to get her to sleep but my face has to be directly next to hers lol, thank you x
Ps I hope she gets better soon xxx
My baby had that too thought it was teething went doctors was hand foot and mouth
Poor little baby. It's so horrible when they're poorly. You've done all the right things, all you can do is comfort her and hope she settles, it will likely mean a couple of rough nights being up with her then she should be over the worst of it. I hope she feels much better soon x
@Lilly was is cold like symptoms? I took her to a soft play the other day and there was some children without socks on so I got worried and left. Oh dear xx
@Nikki thank you! Yes I am just throwing routine out of the window for now and winging it whilst she is ill xx
@Clair it is so awful because she can’t tell me what she wants me to do and she thinks I’m poisoning her with the nasal spray lol. Just resettled her for the 4th time tonight fingers crossed she can breathe properly to sleep a bit longer xx
@Emmy yh he wouldn’t eat sleep get comfy unless he was ontop of me n blisters started coming up on his tounge had a fever but a lot better now x
This is us right now! Last night was a better night slept 9-5 in his own cot but then came in with us from 5-7 but the night before he was struggling and I just slept with him in my arms. He is tired from all the broken sleep so just having extra contact naps and trying for naps in the cot too. Sucking his snot out a lot too and cleaning his eyes with cool boiled water. Hope your little one is better soon xx
Sounds like you are doing everything you can atm! My baby had all the same symptoms barring the cough. I found that the vapour plug in helped but left her feeling a bit stuffy and congested over night - me too- as she sleeps in our room and so I used a humidifier at night with the plug in and it was a game changer! Helped her breathe much better and the next night she was back to sleeping with her mouth closed and much more at easy. The first 3 nights of her being ill, I just held her at night as she was so uncomfortable. She managed to get rest in my arms and although I was sleep deprived it really helped her get better quickly X
I would give my little one a warm bath before bed with peppermint oil drops in it (so the steam could hopefully clear her nose), then use the sucker thing to clear it and keep the humidifier on throughout the night with peppermint and lavender. She went from not sleeping and coughing all night long to just waking up and coughing once or twice Hope your little one gets better ❤️
Poor babba with her wee red nose 😭 Its so awful when they are sick. It sounds like you have done everything possible! Mine would just sleep in my arms when she was sick, being slightly upright seemed to help a little. Maybe try and see if she can get a few hours sleep in your arms before you go to bed? Not ideal I know
