sick baby & very tired mama :(
This is mostly a vent, just as a heads yo, although if people have any advice on how to help a baby with a cold, feel free to throw it out there.
McKinley is 9.5 months now, and is obsessed with licking things. I do my vest to stop her and keep the house clean but you take your eyes away for two seconds, she's licking the cat, the window, the laundry basket...everything and anything. So i guess it was bound to happen. Friday night she woke up from a nap really warm, and sane thing Saturday. Sunday she developed a running nose, and sounds like there's some mucous in her throat, and would not eat it drink anything (but did have more than 3 wet diapers) Normally she's in bed by 830, we can put her down awake, and she falls asleep. Nope not last night. After multiple baths, attempts with bottles, a ride in the car, holding her and singing, she fell asleep in my arms at 130, now at 730 am, guess who's awake?? (Oh and her dad slept snoring the whole night through. How, I have no idea since she was screaming!)
I'm a ftm, and this is the first time she's been sick, plus my parents are on a vacation,so I can't ask them for help. I'm just sleep deprived, grumpy, and feeling so very lost. Especially with the not eating thing.
