You can tell if your baby is dehydrated if she's wetting fewer than five to six diapers a day. Second-hand smoke can put your baby at risk for more upper respiratory problems, so stay clear of cigarette smokers. Keep your baby away from areas where someone has been smoking. Children who live with cigarette smokers have more colds and their colds last longer than those of children who aren't exposed to smoke. Click here to see all comments.
Saline drops really work.
Nick squirmed and cried when we gave them to him, but it did seem to alleviate some of the discomfort. The bulb syringe worked, too. I wrap cool washclothes around her feet. It helps lower her fever without having to wake her up. Just be careful not to let baby get chilled.
