Teagan is sick

All that mess that Kyan had, and then I had/have Teagan now has. My poor tiny boy can't breathe and it's killing me. He sounds awful!! We've used the saline drops and the nasal aspirator and it doesn't seem to help. I've never had one this little sick before, he's only 17 days old! He is still nursing, but poor thing has to pull off now and then just to get a breath!
I feel so guilty because I know I got him sick, with the help of Kyan, but I couldn't just stay out of his face, I had to change his diapers and feed him.
I guess the only other thing I can do is get him in the bathroom with some steam going. Any other advice?

You're doing the best thing for him Do you have a cool air humidifier? Other than that the steam shower is a great idea.

The steam shower should help him a lot. The humidifier is the only other thing. I hope it doesn't last long.

if you can find it, pick up some Euclyptus (sp) oil and put a drop or 2 on his collar. He is too little for stuff like Vicks....but the eucylptus oil does the same thing.

My girls have it too, I take them in the bathroom every time I shower and use the saline drops. When I talked to their doctor he said that's about all I can do for them.
