I will try this tomorrow!<br /> @StbHisMrs: two? We only have a cool one. How different are they? When do you use each? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-484896 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:39:53 +0000 StbHisMrs 484896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A warm washcloth, she had a bad cold for almost 3 weeks, and still has a little runny nose. We used two humidifiers, a cool one and warm steam one, also used little remedies saline spray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-484775 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:28:25 +0000 matador84 484775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found the best method for the bulb is...<br /> 1. saline drops<br /> 2. squeeze air out of bulb (away from LO's sight)<br /> 3. close one nostril and suction the other<br /> 4. squeeze out snot and repeat on other nostril.</p> <p>i used to not close the nostril and am amazed at how much more i get now and it is a quick sweep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-484773 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:26:10 +0000 pastemoo 484773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad I'm not the only one constantly fighting it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-484224 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 17:03:16 +0000 banana 484224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I use the nosefrida. It's pretty awesome. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-483667 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 10:18:31 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 483667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: We use the Nose Frida instead of the bulb to suck out more snot. We also do saline sprays to help break it up. Other than that, we're constantly wiping her nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-483663 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 10:16:24 +0000 littlek 483663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use boogie wipes. We also use saline drops and the snot sucker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-483637 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 09:47:15 +0000 SugarplumsMom 483637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I run the shower for some steam and let her play in the bathroom on her high chair for a few minutes to soak it in. Then Saline drops + snot sucker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-483617 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 09:23:39 +0000 Weagle 483617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD does the same thing. I'm constantly wiping her down with a saline wipe or warm wet washcloth. Luckily, she doesn't have much hair, so that's not a huge problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-483600 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 09:06:13 +0000 pastemoo 483600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Ugh, he always does it before I can get to him. And I am not very good at the suction bulb. Do you have a regular bulb?</p> <p>My doctor told me to do it with saline (suction) but he hates it soooo much. :( Poor, gross, sticky baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-483594 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 08:58:36 +0000 banana 483594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just constantly suction! I try to do steam baths to really drain out the nose too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-sick-baby-clean-and-snot-free#post-483592 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 08:56:19 +0000 pastemoo 483592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you keep your sick baby clean?<br /> When my little guy is sick with a runny nose he rubs his eyes and then his nose and then his hair so he is COVERED in snot. I can't give a bath because he does it every few minutes.</p> <p>Would you use a saline wipe? Regular wipe? Water? Just let it go?<br /> He is also getting baths more often.</p> <p>I am seriously more grossed out by snot than anything and he is just constantly covering himself if in. (He is 7 months and I guess he recently learned how to rub it all over himself.) </p>
