But saline drops + snotsucker + rocking her to sleep while sitting up works. (I won't be able to do this soon, she's getting heavy!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-lo-feel-better-when-theyre-miserable#post-329542 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 02:15:47 +0000 808love 329542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww poor baby. Lots of holding. Boogie suck only before feeding and sleeping as needed. Not too much b/c you don't want to irritate her delicate nostrils. Youtube videos...sorry, most won't agree with that but it worked for us. My LO loved water, so I would let her sit on the edge of the sink and let her kick her feet around in some water, jacuzzi style. She loved the splashing. We have a rocker recliner so I'd let her sit on that and kneel in front of her rocking her gently, so she felt like a big girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-lo-feel-better-when-theyre-miserable#post-329525 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 23:18:51 +0000 brownie 329525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Warm shower. Enough to make a little steam but not hot enough or bear enough to heat baby. That was sometimes the best way to calm my son. And of course some nursing in the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-lo-feel-better-when-theyre-miserable#post-329512 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:28:02 +0000 MamaCate 329512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Echoed everyone above, and distraction when possible. Lots of singing and general silliness to try to help get her mind off all the yucky symptoms. Hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-lo-feel-better-when-theyre-miserable#post-329507 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:22:44 +0000 autumnlove 329507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saline drops, cuddles, humidifier and the snot sucker. Hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-lo-feel-better-when-theyre-miserable#post-329500 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:14:24 +0000 pinkcupcake 329500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When L was congested, I was constantly using saline drops &amp; the Nose Frieda on her :( I also just held her and cuddled her as much as I could... it's so sad when they're sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-lo-feel-better-when-theyre-miserable#post-329382 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 18:14:23 +0000 pastemoo 329382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww! We did saline drops + bulb sucker, and snuggling. Poor little guy! He was miserable.</p> <p>I hope your little girl gets better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-lo-feel-better-when-theyre-miserable#post-329372 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 17:53:19 +0000 BananaPancakes 329372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had his first cold last week at 5.5 months. His nose is still running and he's congested at night, so he's pretty miserable. But in the thick of it last week, we spent a lot of time in the shower and jacuzzi tub. And rubbed baby Vicks on his feet and chest. Also, saline drops in his nose and lots of snuggling. It was a rough week. Sorry your LO is under the weather, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-lo-feel-better-when-theyre-miserable#post-329358 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 17:35:57 +0000 mediagirl 329358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor baby M. She is so miserable. Her nose is all red and sore and she is sneezing all over the place. Boogie, snot and spit-up have been flying in our house today. What can we do to make her feel better? She's not feverish, just sick:-( I'm trying to keep her nose clear and using a warm, wet cloth to clean her nose area. </p>
