Breastfeeding baby with a cold!

[lucywiltshire]

Any tips for feeding a bubs with such a stuffy nose he can't breathe through his nose so can't feed properly? I feel awful that he is struggling so much. Much olbas oil being used to ease his stuffiness but not working yet!

Saline drops or breastmilk up the nose will help it come out.

Just been through the same here.... Saline drops were brilliant, baby didn't like them at all but it settled her breathing to be able to feed.

We also used baby vicks at night, to be honest im not sure if that worked or not.
