My sweet baby girl was up all night with a stuffy nose. She's such a great little baby, even while she's not feeling well. Please say a little prayer for her.

Update- It sounds like she might have croup. When she coughed a few minites ago it sounded like a tiny little bark. I'm off to the pharmacy to buy a humidifier. I'm so nervous because she's so young.

St. Therese, pray for my baby!

More prayers Ruth. Run the shower for 15 minutes and keep her in there - this was our best remedy for croup. And nurse as much as you can.

Thank you for your prayers. She coughed a little bit through the night, and she had a fever. She was pretty hot all night, but now she's definately better, temperature wise. She's not rattling, but she is clogged up. The two older kids are sick also, so I'm sure it's something going around here. I've been coughing and sneezing for 3 weeks thinking it was allergies, but I guess it's actually a cold. She was bound to get it. Poor little baby. I just don't remember having a 6 month old with croup before. We ran the new humidifier all night, so I'm hoping it will help out.

Noel had croup last week ... no fun at all. The humidifier and lots of prayer did help, though. I pray that your little one feels better soon!

Thanks again. She had a fever all day yesterday and all night last night. We ran the humidifier last night and she slep well, but she's very clogged up. The barking cough is gone, praise God! I gave her one dose of Spongia, the one that tastes like chalk, so I'm sure that also helped.

Last night we prayed the rosary in bed and she actually sat up the whole time and played with a V-tech carousel toy my neighbor gave her. She's such a sweetie, even when she's sick. She's trying so hard to be happy.
