Under the Weather

Katherine came down with her first cold this week. There are few things in this world that sound more sad than a baby coughing. :-(

Daddy's also feeling under the weather, so this weekend we're all focusing on resting and nursing everyone back to good health (literally for Katherine-- when she has Mommy's milk she gets lots of antioxidants and immune boosters). 

Luckily, despite not feeling too well, Katherine has continued to sleep relatively well. We have a humidifier set up in her room, and we gave her a long warm bath and baby chest rub before bed last night. Does anyone have any tips for making a poor sick baby feel better?

Aw, poor Katherine. I'll bet, though, that mommy and daddy feel worse than she does. I'm sure with all the tlc you are giving her she'll be all better real soon!

GG is feeling sorry for all of you but it sounds like you are doing everything right--- I remember in the hospital them stressing to give them a tepid bath & to keep their chest warm--sounds like you are doing all that & she will be better soon-- the cold is everywhere but I agree --you hate to see a baby ill in any way.Mke sure she doesn't have a temp & give her the TLC you always do:):)--Get well to all sickies:)

Aunt Kathy always writes the nicest notes:):):)

Sorry she's not feeling well! :( Poor Katherine. The saline nasal sprays always really helped keep Luke's nose from getting too stuffed up (along with the humidifier and sitting in the bathroom while we shower). They also make baby vicks. :) I hope she feels better soon!
