My 11 week old baby has the flu! Any tips on keeping baby comfortable?

Question

I am up in the middle of the night with my baby that has been recently diagnosed with the flu. It’s so scary with him being so young and not really having the ability to clear his air way that well. Has anyone dealt with a baby that has the flu? I’m
A nervous wreck 😩

Answer

Put baby vicks on his feet and put socks on over them. Use a humidifier, keep him propped up in bed and if ur breastfeeding dont stop xx

Answer

My three week old had a bad cold and the doctor recommended putting saline drops (they sell ones for newborns) in his nose before suctioning them out. We would also hang out with the steam from a shower for a bit to help the congestion and use a vaporizer at night. It all seemed to help. Good luck! It's super scary when they get sick so young! Mine still has a bit of a cough and I just am hoping he feels better soon!
