Frequent Flier?

So, the baby is sick....I am bringing him to the dr this afternoon. He has this chesty- croupy cough. He needs an expectorant - but we can't give babies those anymore. I have tried the steamy shower and firm pats on the back to no avail. No fever but I am about to start my work week - which also means that if I don't take him things will take a sharp turn for the worse.

Sigh. I was just at the dr's office yesterday with my almost 6 yr old to get his stitches out.

This means that since the 18th of this month - I will have been at the ped's office 4 times. YIKES!

I hate going to the pedi's office. I get there 15 mins before my baby's appointment and I have to wait about an hour past the appt time to see the doctor. Why the heck make appointments if they're not gonna keep them? >:(

Sorry, didn't mean to make this about me. I hear ya!

Multiple trips to pediatric office=crazy mamma. I mean, come on people, can't we all just synchronize our illnesses?

We have months like that and at my pediatrician we get the added bonus of paying for parking. I hope the little guy feels better soon and you can stay away from the doctor for a while.

THis'll sound stupid...but at night time, try rubbing vicks vaporub on the soles of his feet and covering the feet with socks while he is sleeping.

My kids do VERY well with this and we've been doing it for years!

Sometimes when it rains, it really storms. Last month my 2 year old got stiches as well. And the year before both of my boys had serious bronchitis more than once and it SUCKED!!! I really hope your baby gets over the cough. Coughs are terrible. Good luck!! Lots of R&R and good healing thoughts coming over to all of you.
