Now Olivia's got my cold

Her first cold...

Yeah, she caught my cold and is running a high fever at 102.4 F. We've been giving her lots of fluids and letting her sleep. We've also been giving her some baby tylenol to get the fever down. I can't wait until my baby feels better. I feel so bad.

It's not like you deliberately made her sick .... nothing to feel bad about!

The first time your baby gets sick is horrible though.

The best thing we found was a steam vapouriser. You put water in and plug it in and steam fills the room. Helps congestion. Optionally you can add some eucalyptus oil to the top bit of the steam vapouriser.

just make sure you change the water in the vaporizer frequently, or you could make other problems for yourselves
