That's what he said anyway and it rings true from the amount of snot flowing in our house this fall.Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954534617276979985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126793078579825807.post-11981347875840316702007-10-13T10:28:00.000-04:002007-10-13T10:28:00.000-04:00It sounds like all of our little ones have the sam...It sounds like all of our little ones have the same cold. I wonder where it came from.

I'm feeling your pain - Lucy's been a snot machine all week and sleeping poorly as well.<BR/><BR/>I second saline solution. It works well at helping clear things out for awhile without using the bulb syringe - at least long enough for Bella to get a good meal or fall asleep.<BR/><BR/>Also, I found the Vicks patches to put on the babies chests/sleepers to work pretty well, too. I would just slap one on the outside of Paul's sleeper at nighttime, and it stayed put all night. It definitely seemed to help with the congestion. Of course, it made the whole room stink of Vicks, but you can't have everything.<BR/><BR/>Also, the shower tablets work GREAT for short term relief.<BR/><BR/>I hope Bella recovers soon.<BR/><BR/>BTW: Paul had two teeth at 3 months. It happens.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260855517451217601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126793078579825807.post-87205646905105340032007-10-12T16:06:00.000-04:002007-10-12T16:06:00.000-04:00Have you tried Dr. Sear's salt water decongestant?...Have you tried Dr. Sear's salt water decongestant? You make it yourself with a little salt and warm water and squirt it up their noses...well, I'll call with more tips. This worked pretty well for Gregory when we were in KS, but they don't like it very muchChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08949743218077305159noreply@blogger.com
