Cold & Flu in babies

Luana is only five months old and has a flu for the first time. It breaks my heart to watch her suffering. She has a very blocked nose but she doesn't know how to get rid of the mucous, which is causing a cough and short of breath. A young baby’s natural instinct is to breathe through their nose – even when it is blocked. This can make their life very frustrating, disrupting sleep, nursing and bottle-feeding. That’s why it’s so important to keep your baby’s nose clear.


3 tips that is helping my baby a lot


1- Euky Bear Vaporiser 
Keeping a vaporriser in the babies room will allow her/him to breath easily. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil , open the window a little bit and let it steam. It will work for up to 12 hours and then stops automatically when steaming completed.
The steam moisturises mucous membrane, reduces irritation and clear mucous from the nose, bronchial tubes and lungs. The Euky bear vaporiser helps alleviate the symptoms of colds and flu, bronchitis, croup and other respiratory aliments.


2- Fess little noses Saline spray
This is a non-medicated saline solution that provides relief of dry or blocked noses due to colds, allergies, sinusitis or dry air. The gentle alcohol free saline solution will not sting your baby’s delicate nasal membranes and being non-medicated it can be used as often as needed without the worry of harmful side-effects. works by loosening and thinning nasal mucus and moisturising dry nasal passages. This helps to clear stuffy noses, allowing your baby to breathe easier. As babies insist on breathing through their nose, a clear nose is essential prior to feeding and sleeping.


3- Love
There is no mystery for the third tip. All a baby need is  lots of love from  mummy and daddy, specially when they are in pain. Kiss and Hug your baby as much as you can, don't worry if you end up getting their flu, we are "big girls" and  we can handle it much better than they do


In cases of choke put your mouth into babies nose and suck all the mucous! I know it sounds disgusting but  it has helped many babies to breath in emergency situations.
