Rhiannon is coming down with Kents cold, she has only slept for a total of 1hr today, it is 7.20pm, she has been up since 7.30am this morning, she has had her normal feeds but is very unsettled and very clingy.
she is finally asleep and i have managed to get her into her bed, but i am dreading tonight, after i have woken her at 11pm for her last feed. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

normal signs runny nose, cough ,crying,unsettled ,sometimes a temp,use siline drops for a stuffy nose and paracetamol for temp so is better to get a doc to check her out considing how young she is hope this helps  ------------- <a href="http://lilypie.com"><img src="http://b4.lilypie.com/nLJ5p13.png" alt="Lilypie 4th Birthday Ticker" border="0" /></a> |

what the others said :).
If she does get snuffly, take her in the bathroom and turn on the shower and run it for 10-15 minutes (noone needs to be in the shower  ) that will help clear passages - we used to do that all the time (basically does the same as a vaporiser or the whole steaming bowl of hot water for adults).

Just wanted to add, is she around six weeks? At six weeks Quinn hit a 'growth spurt' which basically meant he fed for hours and hours, was very unsettled and just wanted to be ON me. Maybe it could be something like this? ------------- Anna and Quinn 10 July 2004 www.quinnariki.blogspot.com and one more on the way.... http://lilypie.com">

yeah she is 6wks old, she not feeding any more than normal, and she is still really unsettled, her temp is normal though, and she is clingy,
but kent is home sick today, so im wondering if she is just picking up on him. She has her immunsiations tomorrow, i am not looking forward to that. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

She will be fine with her jabs Kaz. I think its more upsetting for the mum the first time - I cried and got a hug from the nurse for being brave! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

When my boy had his 6 week jabs he slept for 8 hours! I know it's an awful thing to put them through, but it does have an upside. Gotta look for that silver lining, you know? -------------

Taine was really grizzly for his, but jake never worried at all. About two minutes after, he's running around the doctors surgery.
But with Taine we got his two due ones and his menzB. Are you getting that at the same time? or not at all? |

well Rhiannon had the first 2 jabs yesterday, i decided not to get all 3 at once,
and i have never heard her scream or cry like that, 2m ins later she was asleep on me, but as soon as i put her into her carseat she woke up and screamed and screamed the 20min car trip to my mums, (i couldnt stop as i was the only one there), and i was a mess by the time i got to mums, but after a feed and a sleep she has been fine ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Also at around 6 weeks they start wanting more stimulation and don't just want to eat and sleep but get grizzly cos they are still too little to play with things ------------- http://lilypie.com">
