maybe put the cot on phone books at one end so there's a slight raise.
yep i recommend Karvol, i put some on a tissue and put it in her PJ pocket, or just directly on her collar.
and lots and lots of cuddles :)

You can also make up your own saline solution at home ... add 1/4 tsp (or less) of plain table salt to a cup of boiling water and stir well, then leave to cool. Getting a drop or two up their nose is the tricky bit! I've sometimes resorted to just washing my hands really well, then dipping my little finger into the saline solution, then quickly dabbing it into DS's nostril. Saline drops definitely help to clear the airway for a time, but won't usually last all night.  Hope your wee man recovers soon .

Karvol is also good on their PJ's or on a cloth ]]> Sun, 17 May 2009 19:04:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26569&PID=688490&title=colds#688490 <![CDATA[Colds : Baby vicks, saline drops up the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26569&PID=688474&title=colds#688474 Author: FreeSpirit

Baby vicks,
saline drops up the nose to clear it before bed,
steamy bathroom twice a day to keep things "loose",
Eucalyptus oil in an oil burner (or a few drops in a bowl of hot water placed near his cot).
I should be able to think of more remedies but I'm suffering from a mental blank.]]> Sun, 17 May 2009 18:42:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26569&PID=688474&title=colds#688474 <![CDATA[Colds : unfortunately I am not bfing,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26569&PID=688419&title=colds#688419 Author: FionaO

unfortunately I am not bfing, but am amazed that there seems to be nothing BF can't cure, brill stuff.

ok, trip to chemists is needed, unluckily my closest chemist has the most unfriendly people in]]> Sun, 17 May 2009 17:07:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26569&PID=688419&title=colds#688419 <![CDATA[Colds : Baby Vicks?

Baby Vicks? On the cloth? You can stick it under his cot.
Those saline drops are supposed to be magical for unblocking tiny noses.

Are you still breast feeding? I found a squirt of bm up the nose worked a treat

I am sure there is also something (???) you can stick on a cloth at the end of the bed which helps un block the nose - someone help me here.....]]> Sun, 17 May 2009 16:37:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26569&PID=688399&title=colds#688399 <![CDATA[Colds : Hi, My lovely wee man, has caught...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26569&PID=688392&title=colds#688392 Author: FionaO

Hi,

My lovely wee man, has caught his first cold.

Overall he is coping pretty well, but just wondering what remedies people would suggest for night time, to help him breathe?]]> Sun, 17 May 2009 16:16:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26569&PID=688392&title=colds#688392
