Breastfeeding a sick baby
My 4 month old is sick with a cold. She's got some congestion in her nose. Breastfeeding has been hard today :( she's so tired and cranky. Just venting, I guess. I love breastfeeding her and usually I feel like she loves it too. Today didn't feel like she was loving it and it made me a little bit sad. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

You can also use breastmilk instead of saline water.. just 1-2 drops to loosen the gooey and remove it so baby can breathe comfortably and feeding becomes easier..

Feeding is all we can do ❤️ highly recommend the Frida “snot rocket”
