Gonna be a long night

Think Henry has caught DH's hold

He sounds sniffly as he feeds and has become really fussy this evening.

Any tips on what can help him?

You could try putting the shower on so it steams up the room then put him in the room for a short while. The steam could help to unblock his nose x

It like a baby vicks but not as strong. It says 3mth plus in pack but I used it on dd and pharmacy said as long as not direct onto chest then ok. I put it on his feet and some on his babygro. He's had big bogies this morning so it's dried the snot. He slept 7:30 - 3:30 then woke at 70 for a feed.

I always used it on dd from young age

I tried the saline nasal spray on R earlier this week as she was snuffly - having been somewhat sceptical about them I have to say they were fabulous!!!

She stopped snorting very quickly!!

to help baby sleep at night i was adviced to elevate baby's mattrace a little by putting few books under.
it helps them breathe as being flat it makes them worse.
