www.walgreens.combad news: it's not too late in the season for your baby to catch his or her first cold. we managed to make it 6 months cold-free, and then the sniffles arrived. i blame it on cole's doctor (a doctor!) who swore he was "no longer contagious." bastard.
we've managed to make it most of cole's almost-10-months without any major illnesses, but the sniffles are once again rearing their ugly head. and, naturally, since my son likes to stick his fingers in my mouth and fishhook me, i've got them, too.
so the only thing to do now is wait, drink tea (for me) and use little noses (for him). little noses saline drops and aspirator kit is the easy way to help your snuffy little baby feel better. the saline drops help loosen up stuffy little noses and the nasal aspirator will help suck out any yuckies, assuming your baby lets you get close enough to do so.
the little noses stuffy nose kit also came in particularly handy when we came home from the hospital and paid $9.99 to the emergency help line to report that our newborn sounded stuffy, only to have them tell us "newborns are stuffy." um, thanks.

Also good for the snuffly stages if, like most parents, you want to avoid medicating your child: SudaCare Nighttime Vapor Plugs. Some people don't find these very effective, but combined with a cool-mist humidifier, we've never had to use a decongestant in all of Brayden's three and a half years. Sure beats the ultra-sticky Vicks VapoRub from my youth! :) Hope you guys are all feeling better! xo
