Good! It's not RSV, ped said a nasty rhinovirus is going around. This was a wake up call to be more careful isolating the toddlers from the baby.

Going to be a long winter everyone. [/quote]

Glad your baby is okay. It’s impossible to isolate toddlers from the baby unfortunately. My almost -yo was born last novmeber and short of completely isolating her to her room (which we did when she was a newborn and my older toddler was sick) she caught every cold he did. I’m not as an expert but I did nose Frida snot sucker every couple of hours before each feeding to help clear our mucus. Obviously that’s the nose and I don’t know if it helps prevent anything build up in the lungs. But auction, humidifier, keep baby hydrated (add more feedings if they’re eating smaller amounts less frequently) and steamy bathrooms as others suggested. Some people also swear by essential oil rubs on their feet - I’m skeptical that they’re hormone disrupters and as they’re not explicitly recommended by my pediatrician, I don’t like to use them.
