Our little man is a bit of a wreck at the moment. He's at the tail end of a virus and has ALL the classic symptoms that go with it - coughing, sneezing, snotty nose and a high temperature. If that's not a lot to contend with, he's also cutting his two top teeth - poor little baby...
Oh, and did I mention that the temperature this week is very humid and in the high 30s?!?!?!?! The forces of nature are definitely conspiring against him...
I feel like we are coping now and have all the right equipment (other than great antibodies...). We've got a baby thermometer, baby panadol, baby asprin, baby nurofen, baby decongestant, baby teething ointment and a bloody great bottle of whisky- no, only joking - see previous post listing...
In the course of his sickness, I have learnt one important thing. You can't stop a kid's nose from running. It doesn't matter how often you wipe it (even with them screaming), you turn your back and the mucky flow continues... The only variant is if it's clear, white, black or green.....

Yes thanks, he's on the mend. Snot has turned a clear colour now and he doesn't rattle so much when he breathes. Thanks for asking xxx
