Boogie wipes are wipes for the nose that are gentle and smell good! Get the grape scent. Also get saline spray and a snot suckered, and a humidifier if you don't already have one going. Keeping the nose moist is key! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329369 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 17:48:45 +0000 chrispygal 329369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor baby! Our LO has been stuffy since day 2, and she wasn't even at daycare until day 3! Even just two days at someone else's house and she gets stuffy, and then passed it to me by Thursday. She is acting normal but it just sounds so pitiful when she breathes through her nose but there is nothing to suction out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329364 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 17:41:03 +0000 mediagirl 329364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@krsmall: :sob: yes! We're cursing daycare. :-(<br /> @mrs. Wagon: what are boogie wipes? Anything else we should get? I gave her some ibuprofen tonight because she was so miserable and conk, she's out like a light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329263 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 14:46:27 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 329263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Max 1 week, but normally 2-3 days and there's already a big improvement! This is one of my fears for daycare, since I SAH he only gets colds when we go to birthday parties, start a new class, things like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329258 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 14:31:00 +0000 littlek 329258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: oh no your LO is sick already??? I hope your LO feels better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329257 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 14:30:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 329257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: sorry!! :-( but seriously, the more they're sick now, the tougher their immune systems are later. It is so sad though. Stock up on the ibuprofen, boogie wipes, etc and pray for spring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329251 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 14:17:13 +0000 mediagirl 329251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: ahhhhhhhh you just made me cryyyyy!!! 6 months of being sick? I don't know if I can handle it. I'm so sad. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329205 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 13:25:51 +0000 autumnlove 329205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's colds usually last a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329191 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 13:06:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 329191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh, daycare. :( It will last a week at the most, and when they start daycare they'll be sick on and off for a good 6 months. great immunity builder though!

It lasted about ten days, give or take a few. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329140 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 11:41:19 +0000 heffalump 329140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had her first cold at 8 months. It lasted about a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329115 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 11:02:44 +0000 erwoo 329115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aaaw... :( My 6-month-old just caught his first cold 2 weeks ago from his older brother who is in preschool. He had the sniffles for no more than a week; and it was more mild compared to his brother's cold. I have the Baby Comfy Nose and it helped a lot. I was lucky he didn't mind me using it on him. He just looked a little stunned for a second. These little ones are more resilient than we think! Hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-your-los-colds-normally-last#post-329113 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 10:57:47 +0000 mediagirl 329113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M has her first cold. Thanks, daycare. :-\ How long do your lo's colds normally last? </p>
