2 week old with congestion

2 week old with congestion

My poor lo is 17 days old today and she has a cold. She is sneezing,congested, and her right eye has discharge. Her dad is also sick. I have been using saline drops and aspirator on her nose to help her breath better but she is still sooooo congested. I have been using warm washcloths on her eye also. Anyone have any suggestions? Humidifier? I will be calling her doctor tomorrow morning.

Yes, definitely call the dr for more suggestions.  There is really not much you can do at this age.  I remember DD getting 8 week old DS sick and I was very nervous.  I also used saline drops.  I've also used my breast milk as saline drops and they help a lot too.  They say that mother's milk is a natural antiseptic.  I feel your little angel feels better soon.
