Nearly 3 weeks old and Elora has a cold :o(

[violet-glow]

Zack, my 'wonderful' 3 year old decided to bring home a cold a few days ago... from god knows where so OH and I tried our best to keep Elora away from Zack, but unfortunately it didnt work... shes now got a horrible cold.

Its upsetting to think theres nothing I can do. Im giving Zack capol.. but because Elora's so young she cant have anything I feel so stupid because im crying with her sometimes when shes upset over her cold

What can I do apart from comfort her??

is it the snuffles hun? prop her moses basket up and put wet towels of radiators when shes in her room steam will help clear her sinuses hun, take her in bathroom with you when you have a shower pop her in her bouncer and close door hope this helps hun bless little leorah and Zack bless him

steam really is the best way to get rid of it, Jamie was terrified of coughin whichs prob y he had a cold for so long but the steam really unblocks them and loosens the muck of their chests!

hope shes better soon hun, and Zack!

awww sorry to hear Elora is not well, my 2 yr old very kindly brought a cold home when Alastair was 2 weeks old i used to put him in the kitchen when cooking and when i was having a shower steam works so well.

hope she gets better soon hun
