Ugh. LO, DH and I all passed a cold around from the beginning of December to the beginning of February. It was sucky.
Humidifier, baby Vicks, saline drops and snot sucker, extra cuddles, extra patience, and extra effort to care for the baby when you yourself feel like crap!

DH had a bad cold about 2 months ago and LO caught it, I escaped somehow. We used the Vicks plug ins. LO had so much snot, after feeding in the middle of the night, I would have to sit him upright, rocking back to sleep. If I laid him down he would start choking. When he did sleep he slept great so we transitioned him out of the swaddle during this time.
Eta we also used a vapor bath, bath soap for babies every night, that really seemed to help.
No colds here yet, but I think we're all fighting something. We've had a lot of congestion and sniffles in our house the last few days. I'm hoping it doesn't turn into something more. My mom used to add hydrogen peroxide to the water in the humidifier, to clean the air and keep germs from getting passed around too much. It works well, but the peroxide in the air will start highlighting your hair with long-term use
