[blparent] Baby's first cold?

[Jennifer Massey]

there are few things that you can do:  first, you can use saline drops the 
ones I used for my daughter was AYR they work very well to keep the nasal 
passages moist.  Second, you need a bulb syringe and will have to suction 
out her nose of any mucus.  (first year makes one that is easy to clean) 
Third, take her into the bathroom, close the door and turn on the shower 
with hot water and put on the shower, sit on the toilet with her in your lap 
for about 10 mins playing with her the whole time or you can even breastfeed 
her as well.
