Hope you both got some rest last night. My LO had it many times. If you do feel uncomfortable bringing him home after your appointment today, you could push to be admitted. Our doctor offered that one of the times when he was really bad. Thinking of you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2050023 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:19:42 +0000 blackbird 2050023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh how stressful, I'm sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2050017 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:15:02 +0000 HappyBaker 2050017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyG: No nebulizer, I think he might be too young? I'm not sure though! </p> <p>@.twist.: @yellowbird: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049963 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 21:23:34 +0000 yellowbird 2049963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: no advice for dealing with rev in a newborn, but i'm sending love and hugs to you! A sick baby is so stressful. hoping he feels better super fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049955 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 21:20:43 +0000 .twist. 2049955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. No advice for a little one so young. We just got over a week of RSV, we're doing much better now with a bit of a cough left, but that's all that remains. The snot sucker really did help a lot. Good Luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049916 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 20:35:21 +0000 JennyG 2049916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did they give you a nebulizer to do breathing treatments? We got one when LO got bronchiolitis the first time at 5 months. We also spent A LOT of time in a steamy bathroom. I even brought in a foldable camp chair so I could nurse in there.</p> <p>Hang in there!! It's rough, but it will get better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049893 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 20:04:34 +0000 Mamasig 2049893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: they did ours in the office and had the results in about 15 minutes. Day 3 and 4 were the worst and then it started getting better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049891 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 20:03:26 +0000 ladybee 2049891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually I think there was a rapid test that came back negative but the test they sent out came back positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049890 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 20:02:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2049890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: bulb doesn't work as well, but you can make due. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049889 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 20:02:09 +0000 ladybee 2049889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: if I'm remembering correctly (which I could be wrong) it took a few days to get our results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049887 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 20:01:07 +0000 HappyBaker 2049887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: no I didn't realize there was a test. We're supposed to go back tomorrow if they aren't closed from snow, I'll definitely ask about it..</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: yes we have a bulb syringe, I can't find our Nose Frida! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049877 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 19:52:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2049877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a snot sucker? Nose Frida and nasal saline can help mobilize those secretions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049867 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 19:45:22 +0000 Mamasig 2049867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did they do an RSV test? My LO had it at 8 weeks. We had to go to the doctor daily for check ups and then were admitted to the hospital for observation when he ran a fever. When they are that little their breathing can get compromised quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049841 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 19:24:29 +0000 ladybee 2049841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: two sick kids has to be horrible!! Hang in there! The whole time they kept saying days 5-7 are the hardest it took everything in my not to tell them they could shove it. I was shocked how true that was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049839 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 19:22:13 +0000 HappyBaker 2049839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: thanks for the response! Sounds like everything they told us to do just at home, I'd feel better if we were in the hospital with people checking on us! I think he got it from my older daughter who's in daycare, though she never officially had it she's had a junky cough all week and a double ear infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049772 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 17:59:14 +0000 ladybee 2049772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were admitted at 2 months old for RSV but they thought it might be bronchlioitis while they waited for the results. We were told that days 5-7 are the worse. And it was noticeably better after that. While we were in the hospital, they came in and suctioned him hourly. We gave bottles in smaller doses since he was having a hard time breathing. We elevated his crib, ran the humidifier, and used saline. We also did breathing treatments once we got home.</p> <p>I'm sorry you are going through this! Do they know how your LO may have gotten it? Ours got it from daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rsv-bronchiolitis-tips-for-newborn#post-2049757 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 17:37:21 +0000 HappyBaker 2049757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any tips on how to make a newborn more comfortable while dealing with this? What was your experience / how long did it last?</p> <p> LO is 4 weeks tomorrow and we just got back from the doctor with Bronchiolitis / possibly from RSV. We are having a big snow storm tomorrow and I'm freaking out since the ped said he is going to get worse before he gets better. </p>
