Jake was coughing and sneezing. His little sneezes are the sweetest thing. The worst part was Jake had trouble breathing. Sometimes he would wake up scared because he could not breathe (also scared me sometimes!). We tried using the bulb syringe from the hospital but it was too big for his little nose.
I looked on google and in some of our baby books, and they all said to take any baby under 3 months of age to the doctor at the first sign of a cold.
I called the doctor first thing Monday morning (New Year's Eve). We got an appointment for a couple hours later. I felt much better knowing we were doing everything possible to help Jake feel better.
Jake was diagnosed with bronchiolitis. We were told to get him a humidifier with Vicks in it, give him a little Benadryl, and put saline drops in his nose.
We've done those things, and Jake has been so good! Such a trooper! You wouldn't know he was sick... Still just being a sweet baby!
