Probably a mothers’ worst nightmare, when her child gets a
cold. It’s the same for me. But over time I’ve realized no matter what, you
just can’t avoid it. You can’t protect your child from these worldly nightmares
even though you are the sole protector of your lil one!
So rather than fretting, take a deep breathe and think what
are the things that irritate us when we have a cold
- A running nose
- Headache
- And ofcourse sleep deprived (unless your heavily sedated)
Ok point number 1 – a running nose. Keep a hanky pinned to
your child’s tee at all times and keep checking . Turn it into a game of
checking and wiping nosey every once in a while. After a while your tiny tot
will come up and tell you themselves. I did this with K and now I truly don’t
need to worry cos she’ll come tell me anyways.
When you’re putting them down for a nap, ALWAYS ALWAYS put a
pillow under their heads for elevation. The elevation helps and prevents a runny
nose and keeps the baby asleep for longer. The rest is much required for them
to recover with the medicine you’ve given and for you to regain your peace of mind.
