this is a sort of feeding / allergy / health question but I'm thinking some other breastfeeding moms may have had a similar issue.
my newborn's night time congestion is driving me mad with lack of sleep - up 15x a night checking she's still alive! can anyone offer any advice on treating either the cause or the symptoms?
I assumed the nasal congestion was a cold, but am reminded that my son had the same issue so am wondering if it's an allergy. I don't have much dairy and am pretty wheat-free (errr, apart from the odd bit of cake!) so there are no obvious culprits.
The snorting, choking and vomiting after night time feeds scares the hell out of me, so I've had her sleeping on my chest which helps her breathing but also scares the hell out of me as we're bombarded with cot death scares. Starting to find the sleepless nights difficult to cope with as I have 2 other children under 4, so any advice appreciated!
Am trying small amounts of decongestant near her to alleviate symptoms.
