She thought it was hilarious. You could try some hydrasense too. I never had success with the snot suckers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2276908 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 06:48:56 +0000 gracecat 2276908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nose Frieda all the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275833 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 10:06:42 +0000 Eko 2275833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been keeping W elevated and have him sit in the bathroom after it is steamed up. I don't use the saline or nose frida because he sneezes a lot. I just use the bulb to get the excess out. He's getting better just doing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275815 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 09:51:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 2275815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saline drops and nose Frida here too. Our ped said the saline drops work as well or better than the nose Frida, if that makes you feel better. And elevating one end of the mattress if she doesn't move in her sleep much (we got to a point when C would rotate and then roll down the crib if I elevated her). </p> <p>And the nose Frida is totally gross. Worth it, because it really did work, but I definitely tasted saline one time after I'd done the saline drops in her nose. </p> <p>Oh and if her nose is running, boogie wipes are softer on their little noses than regular tissues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275797 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 09:41:06 +0000 MCD919 2275797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saline drops and nose frida. I had to hold him down bc he hated it :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275788 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 09:33:36 +0000 delight 2275788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I rememwber our first cold. It was awful. I felt so bad for her. We used saline drops and humidifier. Hope your also is better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275783 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 09:30:52 +0000 MrsBrewer 2275783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yes! Grosses me out!! Idk why, but I think I have a fear of sucking up her boogers, then it getting in my mouth! I know it's irrational and wouldn't happen, but that's all I can think about!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275751 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 09:10:35 +0000 regberadaisy 2275751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: bahaha why not? Does it gross you out? The idea of boogers being stuck in the bulb grosses me out more! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275728 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 08:54:20 +0000 MrsBrewer 2275728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @regberadaisy: I just can't do the nose Frieda! I know it works awesome, but....I just can't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275681 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 08:16:38 +0000 Banana330 2275681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used saline drops up her nose with her first cold. She hated it but it really helped soften up the congestion to be sucked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275677 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 08:11:11 +0000 regberadaisy 2275677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot steamy bathroom with a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a bowl then nose Frieda. Baby Vicks on feet with socks, sleep slightly inclined, cool most humidifier in bedroom.</p> <p>Poor baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275668 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 08:02:39 +0000 Smurfette 2275668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nose frieda works 100x better then the bulb. Humidifier in the room when she is sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-first-cold-2#post-2275653 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 07:54:52 +0000 MrsBrewer 2275653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my LO has her first cold 😪 she's very congested in her chest, and it sounds like a ton of drainage in her throat. I've been using the bulb to suck out boogers, but they are in her throat! It sounds like she's snorting when she breathes. Any suggestions?? </p>
