Cold, Cold Go Away!

Sweet Pea still has that nasty cold :( Last night she seemed like she felt much better, which makes mommy feel better, too! However, when we were ready to go to bed she was screaming so hard she could barely breath! Good thing Sweet Pea's daddy is so strong and intuitive because he knew the right things to do - walk around the house with her in her carseat - put her right to sleep! She slept pretty good, but this morning she woke up coughing again. Its just awful! We used the Vicks Humidifier and some Vicks Baby Rub.



I've read an old wives tale about rubbing Vicks on the soles of the feet to treat a cough. Has anyone ever tried this? I am very tempted to try rubbing the Vicks Baby Rub on Sweet Peas feet tonight in hopes that she doesn't wake up coughing again.

Baby Cold

Well, Sweet Pea has had a cold for almost a week now! We took her to the Dr. on New Year's Eve and he diagnosed it as an upper respiratory infection and said don't be surprised if it turns into a cold - which it did. He said it could last 10 - 14 days! In baby time thats a realllllly long time! Last night she was coughing and sneezing, I just felt so bad for her! I used "Little Noses" and the plunger to try to give her some relief.


I feel really bad when I use the "Little Noses" because she blinks really fast and coughs. I don't know if its really helping or not. I just hope she gets better soon!
