We had to get out the aspirator and the baby saline drops. I feel so bad for Logan, I really do. I mean he's already sick and miserable because of that, and now I'm adding more misery and dropping saline drops into his nose to loosen up everything, and then I'm shoving this thing in there and trying to suck everything out. The only thing is...as I'm sucking, Logan is screaming. Well, when a baby screams he also sucks all of the ickies back in. So everything that I was working for over the past hour (or so it feels like when Logan is unhappy, it's actually closer to around a minute give or take) is for nothing. The moment I get everything to the front and it will just need one more good suck...he sucks all right back in. What is a mommy to do?
When he screams and cries I just want to figure out what it is and fix it. But I can't when the reason he's screaming is because of me trying to make him feel better. Oh how I look forward to the day when he starts to blow his nose!
I was getting extremely frustrated though with the aspirator we had. See, we didn't know that you're supposed to take the one from the hospital. So we went out and bought one at Target. Well the end is too big to even fit into Logan's nose, so needless to say, it didn't work at all. Off I go to Walgreens and I got some nasal drops to help loosen it all up and then it came with an aspirator as well. YEA! I got home, opened it up and it was a perfect size for my little guy! Little Noses stuffy nose kit is great...I recommend it to all that have a stuffed up little one.
So does anyone have any advice on how to make Logan more comfortable? How to get the ickies out faster? Any advice at all, I'm open to it!
