what do you do for a 9 month old who has a cold?
Yesterday DS did not eat like his usual self at all, then last night he slept really restless all night. He actually woke me up a few times bc he was being so restless and I could hear him. then this morning he woke up and I am pretty sure he has a cold. He has a runny nose (but it's clear) he is sneezing and has a 99 temp. Is there anything I can/should do for him? I don't think this warrants a class to the ped yet, but should I do anything for him at home? I feel so bad for him...this is his first cold

Other than give baby tylenol and suction out DCs nose, there isn't much.
I hope DC is better soon!

Cool mist humidifier. Also, I put a bowl of warmed Apple Cider vinegar with grated or sliced ginger under the bed. The vapors help them breathe and are way safer than baby vicks.
