Ds is 4 weeks old and has a stuffy nose and makes horrible snotty noises at the back of his throat and coughs occasionally. He is ebf but seems to only want to feed a little at a time and then goes back to sleep, he has also been sick after a couple of his feeds but does not seem to be sang for any more. I think he finds feeding harder as his nose is blocked and he struggles to breath. I have used saline drops and the audit adoptable thing.
I spoke to the triage nurse at the gps but she did not think he needed an appointment and was highly amused at me and said "this is obviously your first baby! ", but I am still concerned, mainly because of the short feeds and sickness,a nd also about how this will affect my milk supply. How long will the stuffiness go on for and is there anything else I can do?
