Hi ladies
my bubs has has snot in his nose like quite a bit to the point where I have to suck it out now and then or give him saline to help its really thick sticky and dryish not runny and is generally high up (not near the opening if you get what I mean). Hes had this for about 3 weeks and I thought when he first got it that he had a cold, took him to the Dr who thought he had a cold - he didnt have any other cold symptoms and gave me saline drops but he still has the mucus in his nose! is this normal? He has reflux so im wondering if this is a symptom of milk allergy intollerance??? thanks ladies! hes fine apart from this  ------------- http://lilypie.com">    [/url]

| Does he spill out his nose? Aoife had reflux and would spill out her nose. Left her consistently snuffly. |

Kye I can't remember - Is Jayden formula fed?? My GP made a comment the other day about how FF babies are anectodately more mucousy...
...not sure whether it's true or not but Ollie quite often has a snotty nose! Not enough for me to bother sucking it out though...ew! 
Other than that I don't know...If it's bad enough to have to remove to help him breathe or feed then I would definitely go back to your GP. |
