On Easter Weekend, Emma started coming down with her first ever sickness of any kind! She was so miserable by Sunday. After the whole "Easter" day spent in
Hobe Sound, we stopped at
Wal Mart to stock up on infant cold
meds.
Mommy already had one of these lovely little snot sucker handy! At first Emma fought it, but she actually got used to it and just let me do it. This had to be followed by a saline squirt in each nostril. She was fine with that too.
The thing she was NOT
ok with, was the
Pedialyte! She had not been drinking hardly any formula, so got the
Pedialyte but she refused it! I'd get her to take an ounce or two in a day, so I mixed an ounce or so into her cereal twice a day. Throughout her illness we got
thru one bottle!! She won't drink juice and I guess the
Pedia was too similar. Anyone needs
Pedialyte? I got some sitting here collecting dust.
Cold tabs, Tylenol,
Pedialyte, Noise Spray, Baby
Vicks........
She still had to be herself, and crawl and play even though she was sick! You can see on her face & in her eyes that she is not herself.
During her sickness, she just absolutely refused to sit in her high chair!! She wanted to be close to Mommy! I did get her to sit in the
Bumbo on the counter for a bit while I made dinner. But, when she ate, Mommy had to hold her and feed her. It took a bit of getting use to it, when we had to go back to regular routine-high chair for meals,
Independent play time in her pack & play, etc... Martin & I both got a bit of a cold after Emma!
SOOOO glad that it is over and done with!
