...with a stinking cold / cough and awful blocked nose. He is really suffering, poor little thing. I feel so sorry for him and have taken to co-sleeping with him over the past few days just so he can get some sleep and comfort. He had quite a few runny poos too, so I think he is teething as well, which isn’t a great combination.

I can’t remember how long teething symptoms lasts for baby’s first tooth coming through as my DD’s was 7 years ago, so it has been a while! Wink Do they generally go on for a couple of weeks before the tooth comes through?

What can I do to ease his pain a bit? I’m giving him Calpol, teething gel and using saline nasal drops but he is just so miserable. I feel quite helpless. Sad

I have no advice but I'm going through the exact same thing at the moment but I also have a grizzly 2 year old with a shocker of a cold.
As soon as one is calm and settled the other one starts crying. I'm like a zombie

Oh, I am using baby vicks stuff on the baby (snufflebabe I think it's called ) and normal vicks on the bottom of my eldests feet to try and stop the cough and clear the stuffiness
