The Curse of the Plungie-bulb thingie



My poor baby is sooooo stuffy! The Doctor was explaining to me that babies breathe through their noses and often can become stuffy even if the smallest amount of fluids (formula from spitting up or snot) gets in their nasal passage. Poor Isaac! He sounds pathetic! I've had to use the aspirator a bunch and he is so good about it but, lets face it, who in their right mind enjoys something being stuck up their nose and sucked out?! Its enough to make him cough and fuss and it doesn't always seem like its effective...but we do it anyway because it helps...
Tonight we are going to try using the humidifier to hopefully relieve some of his stuffyness!

You can squirt saline solution in his nose (they make it for babies) and that helps. He will think it is the end of the world, but it does help. Enjoy plunging now while he is little. When he gets Jacob size you will be exhausted when you are done (3min later) because he fights so much!
