Sick Baby

So of course no one wants their baby to be sick but it happens and the first thing you should do is go to doctor. Since babies cant talk they cant let you know what is going on so dont try to figure it out on your own go see your doctor. Sometimes the doctor can not give you any medication because of babies weight, age or the virus just needs to run its course and there are no meds for it. Yes this is a real answer your doctor can give you sooo be ready.

Here are a few at home treatments you can try -
Humidifer- there are tons out there but the easiest one i have found to use and clean is the Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer ( i got ours from Walmart for $15)
You can buy Vicks VapoSteam Liquid Medication, 8 fl oz to put in the medcine cup and this really helps to stop coughing.

Warm bath- they sell a special baby bath that is for babies with colds. Johnsons&Johnsons makes one but i think Duane Reade, Target, Rite Aid, etc make their own verisons. It is a Vapor bath and the bottle is usually green.

Baby Rub- this is the baby version of Vicks. If you baby is really little you can rub this on their feet and put socks on them. If you have a older child you can still do the feet and rub some on their chest too.

Steam room- let the hot shower run in the bathroom until the room is hot and steamy. Then sit in there with your lil one for a few minutes, the longer the better. You are basically creating a big humidifier.

Honey- a little bit of honey can soothe a throat but this one is only for babies over 1 years old. Doctors say babies cant have honey until they are one.

TLC - there is nothing like some tender, love and care to help any baby or person feel better. so cuddle with your little one and even let them sleep with you I find you can sleep better knowing your little one is right next to you.

Hope these tips work and your babies stay happy and healthy always
