Already?!

Ugh, Logan is sick. He is so stuffy and his cry is so sad sounding :(. I knew he was gonna get sick, especially going to daycare, but he's been there 3.5 days so far. I am also getting sick which makes it worse...especially since I have congestion and I don't want to take any of the medications that I can take because I don't want it to affect my milk supply. I pray his stuffiness is short lived and doesn't turn into anything worse.

Re: Already?!

  • Awww!! I'm sorry. Hope you both feel better soon.

     

  • Sorry he's sick! It's going around though, everyone I know has a horrible cold. I was at the doctors with A more during his first few years than I wasn't between his asthma and ear infections from the colds he got from daycare. Good news from that though is when he started actual school he rarely caught anything. Hope you guys feel better soon!

  • Oh no!  I hope you both feel better!

    As for your congestion - have you tried a neti pot?  I swear by it!  I rarely take any cold meds since I started using 3-4 years ago and I used to get 3-5 sinus infections/year.

  • Aww that poor baby. I hate when babies are sick. I hope you feel better too. I agree with Mana and give the Neti Pot a try. I hate using it, but wow, like 10 minutes after using it makes a huge difference.
  • We've been passing the same cold back and forth between the 4 of us for 2 months. Do you have a NoseFrida? If not, get one, it's the only thing that will actually get some of the boogies out. 
  • I hope you both feel better!!

    Daycare is something else. Teddy got pretty used to it and now doesn't get sick as often but Shawn and I have been sick more this year than we ever have been.

    I actually just started using the NoseFrieda which surprises the heck out of me because anything respiratory, spit, or snot related makes my skin crawl...guess it's different when I know it's helping my lil man. And ya I have a sinus rinse that I do...it's the bottle, not the pot, but does the same thing. I had sinus surgery a few years ago (which made me a million times worse) and have used one since then. Thank you all for your advice! Hope I can just sleep for a bit after work!

  • @uderin02...How are you and L feeling?

     

  • He's about the same :(. I on the other hand spiked fevers of 104.01 and 102 last night. Got it down to about 100 with meds. Called outta work and I'm gonna call the doc. I'm really hoping it's not the flu! Thank you for checking on us!

  • Hope you guys feel better! Something I rediscovered lately is Olba's Oil. Its kind of like Vicks but much stronger and effective and the bottle says you can use it for babies 3 mos and up. Whenever Annabelle is congested it always does the trick. I just put 10 drops of it on her pillow and it clears her all up for the night. I havent had a chance to try it on myself since since I havent been stuffy but MIL said it worked wonders for her as well. Amazon carries it, link below.

  • Thanks for the link, ill have to look into that! I'm now on high dose amoxicillin but she's not quite sure it will help...but it was her best first option with BFing. She also recommended I stay home rest of the week...which would be a lot easier to do if I didn't have to use most of my time for maternity leave. Hoping since long nap today helps!
