There should be a minimum age for babies to get sick...Poor Natalee seems to have caught Nico's cold he had last week. First the stuffy nose invaded, which we attacked with saline and a nasal aspirator. Then Sunday evening, the cough set in. Oh my...watching your 1 month old cough and and hoarsely cry afterwards is just saddening. The worst part about Natalee catching a cold this early is that there is very little I can do to help her feel better. I have been getting our money's worth with the Vick's Vaporizer. Under supervision we put Natalee in her play-yard on the boppy with the vaporizer in the crib with her and a sheet partially over the entire bed. The boppy gives her an incline so she can breath more easily and tent type structure keeps the vapors in Natalee's immediate area to help loosen up the mucus in her chest. The good news is that Little Miss has not had a fever and while her food intake has decreased, she is eating, peeing and pooping. However, if this cough has not ceased and desist by Friday, then we may be taking a trip to the pediatrician's office before the weekend sets in.
