i have no clue. it has been 4 years since i had a newborn. i have forgotten EVERYTHING!!!!!
More proof I'm just meant to mommy lots of little babies? lol
I'd be right around pregnant by now again if I was still married (right around pregnant = almost pregnant, pregnant, or just gave birth) *sigh* It seems strange to not be planning another baby.

He is precious, I think I gave him my cold. Does anyone know what I should do? He has a runny nose and keeps sneezing. helpppppppp!
Is the snot white? If so, it's likely not a cold, but just him clearing out his lungs. My newborn (now almost 3 months) has been sneezing since he popped out. I think it's partially allergens now, but the doc said it was just him clearing his airways... My two year old was the same when he was new too.
It might be a cold though.. there's always the possibility.. It sometimes helps to sleep them upright, in their car seat or propping up their mattress, helps them breath easier.

I was sorry to read that it wasn't just a cold. I trust he's doing well now! Praying. Children are so precious, it makes your heart hurt when they are sick.

Eucalyptus oil *nearby* but don't let it touch him. I'd always drip it onto a washcloth then set that in the windowsill, or on the bed beside the baby (but..my babies slept in bed with me).
Humidity. If he gets to where he can't breathe, head into the bathroom and run the shower as hot as possible. The steam usually helps.
You can also put a pot of water on to boil and put a few drops of eucalyptus oil in that, you won't want to use the pot for cooking again though. It'll make the whole house smell yummy.
I really love eucalyptus oil. I'm 100% sure it's kept us out of the ER more than once. I use it even now for the kids, and myself, when we get all stuffy and can't breathe.
I think I remember seeing a menthol ish baby bath or lotion? I'd check with someone who knows more than I do before using it on such a tiny baby, but that might be beneficial too. Even if you just put it in some water so the vapors are hanging around.
Where can you find eucalyptus oil??? I am thinking that I may need to invest in some.
