DD is sick and only 3 weeks old

DS had a cold and gave it to everyone in the house. Now DD is sick and I feel so bad for her. The doc said there is nothing we can do for her b/c she is too little. Can u moms suggest some home remedies?

Definetely use the humidifier in her room. Are you allowed to use the Little Noses saline spray to help with her congestion?

ETA: Ask your ped. if you can use the Vicks Baby Rub on her. It is natural w/lavendar, no chemicals.

I used some of that on her today. I think it works. It says for infants/toddlers.

She just sounds congested and a little bit of mucus coming out of her nose. But its not constantly coming its only when she sneezes and when i use the bulb on her.

Saline spray and a bulb syringe to get the boogies out.

Also, let her sit in the bathroom while the hot shower is running. The steam from the water will help clear her up.
