you know the sound when you breath in fast/hard, kierans chest sounds like that when i put my ear there, normal? & shes loosing her "voice"

[~* Helen *~]

Hmmm ...has she got a cold ???

[SandKmommy]

ya, I dont think its the swine flu like Seamus cause she wakes to eat and is peeing still he wasnt' at all. I'm sucking tons of snot out of her and shes kind of "panting" every once in a while. I'm not exactly sure what to watch for on breathing in little ones though

I dopn't know with breathing in babies either ... does she sound rattly ??? If you sit her up and put the plam of your hand on her back can you feel it rattle ?? If so the cold might be on her chest ???

Moo had this last week .. but it wasn't bad enough to need a doctor .. she seemed ok on just calpol .. She had a cough as well which helped shift some of the mucous x

hot and cold room treatments will help break this up - could be croup - is she coughing?

Not really, I here a little cough maybe once every few hours but its more like the "I choked on spit" kind

shes just stuffed up then poor baby!! Maybe try some vicks baby rub and the hot and cold room treatment - 5-8 mionutes outside, then 5-8 minutes in a steamy bathroom - Let me know how shes doing!!

Also a spoonful of vicks in hot water under her bed overnight is good I would say boiling hot water but obviously you have Seamus so not sure how safe that would be unless of course he is in bed x
