Sick baby?

KIIt's the first time baby W is sick. As a first time mom I was kind of nervous because I have no idea what to do. I did what any normal parent would do. I searched the Internet. Of course when you search the Internet you're going to find thousands of different things I could be wrong. I even found that he could have the whooping cough. If you check baby Center.com you be able to hear the sounds of what a whipping cough sounds like. Once I narrowed it down I kept thinking what else could it be. So I did the smartest thing possible. I called his doctor. She then said that if there's no fever I don't have to bring him in. And she gave me some wonderful tips. Now I get to share these wonderful tips with you.

1. Is there a fever? If not, proceed forward. If yes call your doctor.

2. Is the baby uncomfortable? If not, proceed forward. If yes call your doctor.

3. Is there coughing? If yes, then get a humidifier put it next to their   drops to put inside the humidifier.

4. Is there any snot? Does he sound like he's congested? If so you need to aspirate his nose. You can use one of two ways one you can use the blue bulb from the hospital or two you can get the nose Frida. I used to use the blue bold but I have many friends that recommended getting the nose Frida instead. After that I was able to aspirate his nose with no problem and he does fine with the nose Frida.

The doctor give me no other advice… But I did get some from friends. I heard to get baby Vicks vapor rub. I heard to clean his nose out every hour. I heard to give him a bath with steam. Which is what I kind of think is what the humidifiers for. Do you have any advice for when your little baby is sick?

*Update : 11-17-15* Thanks to an amazing friend, I bought a electronic aspirator from Babies R Us. We discovered that since I have asthma, I can't use the NoseFrida. It is too hard for me. We bought this little machine for $30 and it sucks the snot out and plays music!
