Back to the nose sucker outter a moment (we do what Laura does but…) when you suck out it makes them lose their breath few a moment which is I’d imagine is scarey for a LO. Perhaps that is why they dislike it?
I think that may be why they don’t like any wiping, picking, rubbing their nose – they are nose breathers til they get older – perhaps its a built in protection mechanism for them to turn away from and dislike anything going in or on their lil noseys.
I think the saline spray Lil Noses is fantastic, and also as said humidifiers are awesome so long as you keep them clean.
Teething is the pits, we increase the Zegerid by 2mg when it’s really bad. Our GI says no motrin b/c it’s too rough on the tummy, so we stick with Tylenol and Hylands unless its very bad. We have 8 teeth here at 10m!
Good Luck!
