We also elevated his crib mattress by rolling up a towel under one side to help with the drainage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-first-cold-1#post-1249249 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:18:56 +0000 ALV91711 1249249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going through our first cold too.

You can make your own saline solution with 1 tsp of salt to 1 cup of water. Arm &amp; Hammer also makes a baby saline with no additives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-first-cold-1#post-1249202 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 12:58:54 +0000 MoonMoon 1249202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is just getting over his first cold. It sucks, I'm sorry for you guys!</p> <p>That first night, the only thing that helped him sleep was creating a steam room in the bathroom by turning on the space heater and running the hot water. The steam helped him breathe and I think the sound of the running water was soothing too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-first-cold-1#post-1249155 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 12:01:03 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1249155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tylenol, yes. I don't have saline drops - will they help? I'm compiling a list of stuff for DH to get (humidifier, etc) so I can add those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-first-cold-1#post-1249147 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 11:53:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 1249147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh poor baby! Have you done the snot sucker and saline drops in her nose? Maybe a humidifier in her room would help? I think probably just a lot of snuggles are the best you can do, and Tylenol for the fever. Hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-first-cold-1#post-1249132 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 11:45:31 +0000 MamaMoose 1249132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you given her Tylenol? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-first-cold-1#post-1249110 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 11:30:08 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1249110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My three month old has her first cold; runny nose, red eyes, fever, cough. She slept a total of 1.5 hours last night, and hasn't napped since 7 am. I know she's uncomfortable, and I've tried just about everything. </p> <p>Any tips or tricks to settle her and make her comfy enough to nap? </p>
