Does anyone have any home remedies to help little ones deal with head colds? (Since we can only give her Tylenol :( )
I am talking about a nasty nose, won't sleep laying down for longer than 1 hour, very cuddly, can't really breath with her binkie in her mouth, and very needy. Yes I love the extra cuddles but I hate seeing her so....well, gross.
Even if the remedy is only for an hour or even a few minutes of happiness, anything can help.
Thanks!!

Elin always seems to improve with a warm bath using some of that Johnson's vapor bath. It's very temporary of course, but sometimes enough to get her to go to sleep more comfortably. I've also taken a very little bit of the vapor bath and put it in the humidifier next to her bed. Hope she improves soon!
The one time that Landon had a cold.....we put a humidifier in his room and it also had a chamber for some vick;s vapor stuff. Seemed to make him breathe easier.
You can give (almost) one year olds Motrin (aka Advil/ibuprofen)! I think that works better honestly for sleeping at night. And I definitely am a HUGE fan of the humidifier. Crank that sucker up to high until her room looks like a rainforest. It won't work well for her at low levels. They used to sell the Johnsons mentholated stuff in a cream, not sure if they still do, I stock piled it. But I put some one William's chest at bedtime. Not sure how much I think that works, but worth a try! Vicks makes a Baby rub too, maybe try that? Good luck!
