I also started spraying the saline and then waiting a few minutes before I sucked her out. It seemed to help a little more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-to-help-with-los-congestion#post-1494613 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:36:53 +0000 Ms.SK 1494613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vicks baby on their feet with socks and then footie pj's. You need the baby and not the adult version. It helps overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-to-help-with-los-congestion#post-1494545 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:07:31 +0000 Ash 1494545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: ooooo I'll look for that too!</p> <p>@singingbee: I wish I got more out when I suck out his nose so I hope that will do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-to-help-with-los-congestion#post-1494522 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 13:57:37 +0000 singingbee 1494522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: yes. We steam and then suck it out with the nose Frieda. It's great! I can even watch her nose start to run while in the bathroom so it definitely loosens stuff up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-to-help-with-los-congestion#post-1493969 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:25:07 +0000 lawbee11 1493969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Oh forgot to mention I got some of this, too. I add a capful to a warm bath right before bed, then I Nose Frida her immediately afterwards. I think it helps...even if not it smells really good!</p> <p><a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/johnson" rel="nofollow">http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/johnson</a>'s-baby-soothing-vapor-bath/ID=prod389623-product </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-to-help-with-los-congestion#post-1493959 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:21:09 +0000 Ash 1493959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Thank you!

We use that when DD is congested and @singingbee's suggestion about the shower. We also prop her up so her mucus can drain. Also saline spray and nose frida </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-to-help-with-los-congestion#post-1493796 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 09:21:58 +0000 lawbee11 1493796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: We got one of these.

I would take one and have her in the bouncy seat, then leave it on and steam up the bathroom. Then I'd also suction out her nose when we were done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-to-help-with-los-congestion#post-1493780 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 09:19:05 +0000 mrsjyw 1493780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at that age, we did just what you've been doing for DS. humidifer, nose frieda/saline. :( even at 15 months now, those are our go to methods, aside from waiting it out. </p> <p>we're all sick here.... sending all our get healthy vibes your way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-to-help-with-los-congestion#post-1493773 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 09:17:56 +0000 Ash 1493773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The infant cold was inevitable. Especially because I went back to work 2 weeks ago and I've seen a boat load of rsv.</p> <p>Lo has been really congested. He's 3 months old. What can I do to help? I feel limited because of his age. Vapor rub? If so, what's your favorite natural one? </p> <p>I do saline drops and the nose frida. We also have a humidifier going. </p> <p>I know a thread was just posted a week or so ago but I thought I'd see if there is anything different I should do for a younger baby. </p>
