Sick babies

Thanks for all the advice ladies!

They are already using the humidifier and Karvol drops and they have a physio coming daily!!

Hope they get better soon. I had my last day there yesterday - going to assist 1st week of June then that's it!!
Hope they get better soon

Hey Meags

I am so sad just reading this post as i feel so sad for all of you. I think it's important that the mom tries to stay focused and do her best to help get rid of the phlegm first before any secondary infection sets in i.e. bronchitus, pneumonia you name it. She needs to get a bronchodilator syrup to open the chest to stop the wheeziness and then an expectorant to loosen the phlegm. It's actually quite good that they are vomitting up the phlegm, something is working which probably is the nebuliser. My son was on Duolin drops which i had to nebulise with whenever his chest was tight with too much phlegm.

If they don't vomit it out, it should pass through in the stools as long as the right kind of medication is being used.

Also you can do some physio at home yourself to help assist these babies. Put them over your lap and in the nuke of their backs give a few firms jabs (not too hard) and keep on doing it for a minute or so. This helps to loosen the phlegm as well.

Good luck Meags! Keep the faith and keep on supporting Mommy & Daddy, they need it right now! All the best!

Meags Im sure the parents worship the ground u walk on right now as u offer assistance and help with the 3 nunus.

I know when Thiyara isn't well, I become quite stressed - imagine having 3..WOW.

Ask the mom to leave the humidifier on during the night with some Kavol drops to help them a bit with the nose....

I used it when my LG was born as she was a winter baby and also suffered with a blocked nose quite often...

I get totally overwhelmed with one sick baby, how does one cope with three!!

Shame man that's horrible. My LG is sick with a cold at the moment and I tried Karvol on a hanky tied to her cot last night. Worked very well. She only woke up once at 1:30am instead of about 4 or 5 times the night before because her nose was blocked. I'm also using Calpol which definitely perks her up and saline nasal spray which she hates me using but definitely helps.

The doctor did recommend physio but it was too much for the mom yesterday and everyone wants to stop and look at them because they are triplets!!
The 2 girls are a bit worse than the boy so she was going to take the girls today for physio and leave the little boy with the nanny.

Shame and yes definitely poor mommy and daddy! They are quite overwhelmed. I was bathing the little one and the other 2 began coughing and vomitting all over themselves at the same time and mommy felt so overwhelmed and didnt know who to help first!

That must be so stressful - having three infants sick, and that they probably reinfect each other so it just goes on for longer.

Poor babas, poor mama and dada!!!
