My LO had his first cold last week at 5.5 months. His nose is still running and he's congested at night, so he's pretty miserable. But in the thick of it last week, we spent a lot of time in the shower and jacuzzi tub. And rubbed baby Vicks on his feet and chest. Also, saline drops in his nose and lots of snuggling. It was a rough week. Sorry your LO is under the weather, too.

When L was congested, I was constantly using saline drops & the Nose Frieda on her I also just held her and cuddled her as much as I could... it's so sad when they're sick!

Echoed everyone above, and distraction when possible. Lots of singing and general silliness to try to help get her mind off all the yucky symptoms. Hope she feels better soon!

Awww poor baby. Lots of holding. Boogie suck only before feeding and sleeping as needed. Not too much b/c you don't want to irritate her delicate nostrils. Youtube videos...sorry, most won't agree with that but it worked for us. My LO loved water, so I would let her sit on the edge of the sink and let her kick her feet around in some water, jacuzzi style. She loved the splashing. We have a rocker recliner so I'd let her sit on that and kneel in front of her rocking her gently, so she felt like a big girl.
