I feel so bad for her. Was there something I could have done differently to prevent it? I just wanna hold her all night and take the painful cough away from her! :-((
make sure it is definitely croup. what i was told to do was put baby in a hot steamy bathroom for oh, 20 min or so then wrap baby up and take outside in the cool air or in front of a/c. helps congestion and swelling. is it a barking cough? make sure baby isnt blue in color.
And make sure baby isnt breathing hard...like pulling chest in deep bc my 7 week old just got admitted for a day to the hospital.bc she caught rsv...they don't mess around with babies that get that...she is still getting over it but much better! I hope your lo feels better soon
@2ndtimearound thanks! Me too!! @bahamamama4828 the doctor said it sounds like the beginning stages and she sounds like a seal! She's not blue or anything, no fever, nothing. I'll try that tonight, thank you very much! @jnlelrod I'll definitely keep an eye on it, thanks! @lilsugarsmomma her cough sounds bad but doc says its a minor case of it.
Thanks everyone for the advice, I'm a ftm and away from family so its hard for me to communicate with them. I appreciate the advice VERY much
