People are liars. When I went to my breastfeeding class last summer, the instructor said point blank “breastfed babies don’t get sick.” Well, my four-month old daughter – who has been exclusively breastfed – is sick. CASE – IN – POINT!

Not that I really believed the crazy loon but still. Point is, she lied. And I have a sick baby.

Fortunately, my daughter is not terribly sick. Just nasal congestion and a cough. But I hate to hear that cough. It’s the saddest cough in the world.

So being the concerned and needing-information-NOW mom that I am, I called our pediatrician and said something like “She’s coughing and it’s really sad and it disrupts her naps.” Thank goodness I have a very reassuring, patient, and kind pediatrician. They told me to clear out her nose, use saline solution, and put a humidifier in her bedroom. Done. Done. And done.

Thankfully, the little one is starting to feel better . . . but she is needing lots of extra cuddling. Yay! Done! That’s the fun part.

Anyway, thought I would share the products we used in case it is at all helpful for other mommies. Please share your mommy finds too.
