[blparent] cleaning a baby's nose

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Also, an in-room vaporizer with menthal added to the water might make the 
baby breathe a little more easily.  Or you can turn the shower on as hot as 
it gets and let the bathroom steam up.  Sitting in the steamy bathroom with 
the baby for about fifteen minutes at a time will help, and it's even better 
if you can get those shower soother things.  They're round, about as big as 
a silver dollar, and when you put them in a hot shower, they dissolve and 
fill the room with the menthal smell.

Good luck,
Jo Elizabeth
