Poor little Nick's getting a cold. We went to our group yesterday and there was a little boy there who had a cold. He was sneezing and had a runny nose and his mum apologised but I'm a bit peeved. Now Nick's got a sore throat and is having trouble getting to sleep. He let me rock him in the rocking chair tonight though so that was alright. I had to give him some Dimetapp drops for the runny nose and sneezes before I first tried to put him down but when he cried when I put him in his cot I knew it was something more upsetting him. Checked his temp and that was okay so thought he might have a bit of a sore throat beacause of the way he was swallowing. I gave him some panadol for that and another breastfeed and rocked him until he fell asleep and he seemed to like that. Poor little darlin'. I really don't like seeing my little guy sick!! I hope it doesn't last too long but he's pretty good and doesn't usually let a cold phase him too much. Never mind, it's building his immunity to get sick every now and again and I'm so glad it doesn't happen too often!
