First cold at 7 months and 2nd one now at 8 months. I've gotten sick both times with her. The aspirator is not as good as the nose frida (or similar type device). I'd get Baby Vicks and baby saline spray, too. Her first cold lasted about 5 days and this on day 7.

DS got a cold right after Thanksgiving, when he was a little over two months old. He and I got it right about the same time, then DH got sick a few days later. I'm sure we caught it over Thanksgiving, probably from my mom but maybe from somebody else (we saw 30+ people). The first week was the worst. He couldn't/wouldn't sleep on his back in the crib. Even when I slept with him in his chair, he wouldn't sleep much longer than an hour at a time. I bought Boogie Wipes, but burp cloths worked just as well at home. Overall, it was bad for about 6 days and took a few more days for the symptoms to disappear. We got a humidifier during the second week, which I think helped.
