As a mom, there’s nothing harder than watching your kids suffer…
When my first baby had his first cold, all I wanted was to soothe his pain and make him as comfortable as possible. So I reached out to all of the brilliant moms in my life who had already weathered several colds with their kids.
I followed their advice, and my son and I both survived his first cold with flying colors. Eight years, three kids and (what feels like) hundreds of colds later, I’m sharing those same tips with you.
It can be excruciating to see your child uncomfortable, but these tips will help you both survive…

Ok, on with the tips!
1. Elevate
If baby is having trouble sleeping, elevate the head of his bed a bit. Usually a few books under the mattress will do the trick.
2. Hydrate
Try to squeeze a few extra bottles or nursing sessions in while your baby is sick. The extra feedings will help her stay hydrated and hopefully send that cold on its way faster.
3. Soothe that runny, crusty nose
No more tissues. No more wet washcloths. When your baby is sick, reach for Boogie Wipes to soothe his sensitive skin.
4. Try Saline
Natural saline spray will help soothe your baby’s congestion. And – with Boogie Mist – it’s no longer a painful process for baby (or you!)
