Do you medicate when your LO has a cold and cough? Is it necessary? I gave him nurofen last night as I think its related to teething and he was very upset. He sounds like he smokes 20 a day! I'm trying to think if I medicate myself when I have a cold or cough. I never thought being a mum when your baby isn't well would make me so sad. Just want to cuddle him. I know I always ring my mum for a cry when I'm feeling really rotten, even now at 32!!
 
Hey ff! When lo had a cough and cold / fever I gave him calpol 4 times a day, rubbed vicks on his chest, olbas oil on his cot and a humidifier that released more olbas oil! He did end up with an inhaler too. The syrup you can buy for under 1 will only soothe the Throat. poss make lo more comfortable. I would def give pain relief at night for teething if it was disturbing his sleep. Hope Cormac gets better quick x
 
only if it was disturbing her sleeping or eating.
or if she was really uncomfortable.

i usually try and avoid meds & let Mother Nature do its job. x
