DD1 (2.8) is just getting over her first cold of the season but it always goes to her chest.
The poor thing has been coughing away since she went to bed and if history is anything to go by this will carry on for 5-7 days. I can usually handle the jumping out of bed to comfort her every 20 mins but DD2 has arrived and still waking regularly to nurse.
I'm hoping MN collective knowledge will come up with something that will ease her cough a little. To prevent drip feeding we have tried:
Calcough
Having her window open
Plug in decongestant
Dummies
With the exeption of the plug in, these help a little. Occasionally she coughs so much that she's sick. I have taken her to see the GP before but as its not an infection theres nothing he can offer to help.
So, oh wise MN'ers please impart your wisdom ona very tired mum
