DS's first cold!

[macca08]

Any suggestions on how we can make him feel better/comfortable?

He's 2 months old, is very sniffly & is sneezing a lot.

dd1 had her first cold at 8 weeks (dd2 was a veteran by then): raised head of cot/basket, if you have a humidifier then put one in his room - if not, you can put a damp towel on the radiator or a bowl of water near a heater, not sure what age you can start using Snufflebabe, but with dd2 we put a bit on the feet of her babygro (ie not on her skin, and no danger of it touching her face).

Plenty of BM if he's breast fed, maybe a bit of cooled boiled water as well as milk if he's FF, and lots of cuddles

Hope he's better soon!

Saline drops from the chemist will clear his nose a little and make feeding easier.

sorry to hear you little one is poorly macca. You can get a contraption that literally sucks the snot (for some reason i hate that word but couldn't think of an alternative) out. Is that what you were talking about Elibean, the Snufflebabe? If so, my DF used it on her babies from very early on.
Also I advocate Vicks Vapour rub on theh underside of the feet (applied liberally)- that will help with breathing.
