Aside from that what the others have suggested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-when-your-lo-is-sick-with-a-cold#post-161183 Thu, 17 May 2012 09:37:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 161183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>saline drops (def helps), nosefrida, cool mist humidifier, sitting in bathroom with hot shower running to break up mucus while pounding on back, vicks baby rub on feet covered with socks, and a little bit on chest and before bedtime.</p> <p>charlie has had a lot of colds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-when-your-lo-is-sick-with-a-cold#post-161178 Thu, 17 May 2012 09:32:11 +0000 woodentulip 161178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have used a cool mist humidifier and vicks on the feet. public health said not to use a nasal aspirator, so we decided not to buy one, but instead to hold her over a steaming hot sink and then use our fingers to gently coax the boogies out or use saline drops. fyi: doesn't work well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-when-your-lo-is-sick-with-a-cold#post-161172 Thu, 17 May 2012 09:26:53 +0000 heffalump 161172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's only had one cold.
