But I know not all do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-sick-lo-feel-better-and-get-some-sleep#post-2540369 Wed, 04 May 2016 00:18:57 +0000 Dahlia 2540369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, @abbydabbydoodlebug @macintosh! We've had colds before but nothing like this. She's finally asleep so hopefully she'll stay asleep and feel better tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-sick-lo-feel-better-and-get-some-sleep#post-2540354 Tue, 03 May 2016 22:42:32 +0000 macintosh 2540354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saline spray and snot sucker, ibuprofen, a warm bath, lots of fluids. When my LO had an ear infection at 11 months it was like he was 3 months old again. I had to hold him upright and distract him with the tv (no shame here) so he could calm down enough to go back to sleep. Get well soon, baby! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-sick-lo-feel-better-and-get-some-sleep#post-2540353 Tue, 03 May 2016 22:28:03 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2540353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tylenol never works for anyone in our family, so we're an ibuprofen family. Also, if it's really bad, I give DD Benadryl to help dry it up and to get her to sleep. We had to do that when she had strep and was up every hour crying. But she was 20 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-sick-lo-feel-better-and-get-some-sleep#post-2540351 Tue, 03 May 2016 22:23:18 +0000 Dahlia 2540351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: She's 9 months. I'll send DH out for some!</p> <p>@mrs.shinerbock: Thanks, good ideas. She just passed out in the crib, but if she wakes up I think we'll try the glider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-sick-lo-feel-better-and-get-some-sleep#post-2540347 Tue, 03 May 2016 22:15:44 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2540347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry your LO isn't feeling well. We usually try saline drops with the nose frieda so that LO can breathe, sit in the bathroom with the hot shower running. If I can get them to sleep on me, then I sleep in the glider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-sick-lo-feel-better-and-get-some-sleep#post-2540342 Tue, 03 May 2016 22:06:48 +0000 Truth Bombs 2540342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she over 6 months? Tylenol literally does NOTHING for my kid, but Advil always does the trick no problem to help her feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-sick-lo-feel-better-and-get-some-sleep#post-2540339 Tue, 03 May 2016 22:02:34 +0000 Dahlia 2540339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has a bad cold with all sorts of eye goop. We went to the doctor today to see if she had an ear infection, but were told that while she had some redness, she did not have an infection. </p> <p>She's been miserable all afternoon, and bedtime is going terribly. She just screams hysterically when I put her in the crib, but I can't get her to go to sleep on me or anywhere else (this happened last night too and she finally passed out 2 hours after bedtime). </p> <p>What do you do to make LO feel better? To get him/her to sleep? I gave her Tylenol but I don't know what else to do! </p>
