Blah, I'm sick :(

Have you tried sleeping sitting up? That's how I always have to sleep when really congested.

Vicks' Baby Rub works very well for a congested baby and the adult version works well for grown ups too. Both are topical and are safe for B-feeding moms. Mimi was practically covered in Vicks' Baby until her 2nd b-day.

Thanks for the get-well wishes, everyone I actually cleared it out pretty quick. My worst problem when sick is sleeping, but the first day I made it on only 2 hours of sleep, but was able to sleep a solid 6 hours the next night, and last night I slept 8 hours, so I think I'm almost back to normal.

I try to sleep propped up a bunch on pillows when I'm congested and nothing seems to help me sleep, not even Tylenol PM. This is the first time I've been sick with a baby and it's different because now I have to stay coherent and active to give Quinn the attention she needs.

I am now nursing a sick baby girl back to health She caught the cold that my hubby gave to me She is resting peacefully now that she was given infant Tylenol. I tried to give her the infant nasal decongestants and they didn't make her any less miserable, but the Tylenol seemed to do the trick, as she is in better spirits and able to sleep peacefully. Hopefully she'll kick it out of her system quickly like I did. I know the cool mist humidifier is helping both of us, too. I keep it in her room during the night and the living room with both of us during the day.

If she's still stuffy by tonight when hubby gets home, I'll have him go and buy Vick's Baby Rub. Thanks for the good idea I have a feeling the cool mist humidifier will clear her congestion quickly. When she was just under a week old she got a cold (again my hubby gave it to her hehe) and she cleared it so quickly because of the humidifier. They are WONDERFUL things those cool mist humidifiers!

Glad she is feeling better.
Just an idea, I'd get a couple hospital masks (for mom/dad)to help not spread colds.
