My darling daughter has an ear infection and sore throat, went to the Docs and she has been given paracetamol and saline drops.
She is really grumpy and hard to settle, an ideas to help soothe her!? She is feeding reasonably well (she is exculsively breastfed) |

All you can really do is dose her up on the paracetamol and give her lots of cuddles. When Sam was sick with a cold quite early on she was b/feeding lots to ease her sore throat. Poor little girl. Big  coming her way.------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yea lots of snuggly cuddles, they will keep her happier and secure and warm and also put her head upright which will help everything drain better. -------------  |

Oh poor girl, hope she is feeling better soon. And like the others have said lots of cuddles and maybe a few comfort feeds. -------------

Raise the end of her bed it will help a lot. Also if they become a regular thing record when she has them so that if you have to see a specialist you know when she is getting them. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
