runny nose coughing at 6.5m .. and super clingy

Is this a cold with no fever?

DS has just been weird with his sleeping all week and now this... I can't leave his side he goes ballistic, he clings to me when I hold him.

He doesn't seem congested, he plays like normal, but doesn't last as long and wants to be picked up.

Should I just give in to what he wants? Abandon cio at this point? Napping is a nightmare. Although after some cyring he did sttn last night.

Also, we haven't been out yet today for our walk, is it a bad idea to take him outside, when rain clears?

sounds like a cold. You can take him out if it's warm out. fresh air is always good.. IMO...

Def abandon cio..never when they are sick.. love him up!!!

He's already been introduced to chicken, why in the world are my instincts telling me to give him chicken broth in a bottle? bad idea?

ughh, I'm nervous wreck, what else can I do?

He sounds sicker and sicker

Not in a bottle!! spoon it to him if you'd like. If he is phlemy...water down his bottles a bit.

Steam shower
vicks infant rub on chest.

SALINE SALINE SALNIE!!

DONT' BE NERVOUS!!! you're doing fine and he will be fine!!!
eta: elevate his head while sleep to keep the fluid from getting into his ears
