Baby had cold for over 1 week

[lockdownmumma123]

Hello,
My baby has had a cold for over 1 week now, she's congested ( not as bad ) she's not got a temprature, but she looks a little pale and under the weather still
Is this normal?

What age is your baby? Have they been out and about much? When you say 'under the weather' do you mean off food/milk? If you have started taking them out more after lockdown they are more likely to be hit by a cold for longer as their immune system wouldnt have been exposed to much.

Sounds p normal to me. Is she drinking ok and having wet nappies?

@SqidgeBum hello she's 6 months, she has been out to family houses ect just recently, the first part of her life she was locked in the house basically

@riotlady yeah she's still drinking and having wet nappies, I'm a first time mum so this is all new to me

Usually lasts about two weeks

Yeah if she’s not got a temp and having her milk fine, I wouldn’t worry. I know it’s hard as a new mum though!

Ye the main thing is wet nappies and still taking milk, and then a normal temperature. Unfortunately the more a baby gets out and about the more colds they will pick up, especially if she spent those first 5 months or so being exposed to very limited bacteria and germs. Colds will become part of life for a bit. I think we are all finding the same
