First Cold

Well, my baby boy is 5 mos old & he has his first cold. First stuffy nose, runny nose, with fever. I forgot what it was like staying up with a baby who can't settle down to sleep because of a stopped up nose. My oldest was always very determined. When she was a baby & had a stopped up nose, it didn't stop her from nursing. She would nurse for a while, pop off to breathe through her mouth, & then nurse again. Baby boy just got mad & complained after he nursed. He was mad cause he was full & sleepy & he couldn't figure out how to breathe through his mouth instead of his nose. I went to run a warm bath for him & when I got back to get him he had just snuggled up to my husband & fallen asleep. Very sweet. So, what's a girl to do? Well, I went & took a nice hot bath. I was up anyway :)
