Besides the reflux and the colic, Isabella has been a super healthy baby. She has now succumbed to her first cold, followed up by her first (double) ear infection. Poor baby:(.
The runny nose started a week ago, followed up by congestion. We took our first go at the Nose Frida, which our little weirdo actually seems to like (she smiles and laughs so I guess it works!). We also got a humidifier for her room. It stinks that these things are basically the only things we can do for babies this age. Fortunately, she never ran a fever and she remained in pretty good spirits and ate well (though she wanted nothing to do with solids). She rested well overall though nighttime wake ups cropped back up a few times.
A week later the cold symptoms were still lingering and last night she couldn't be calmed even when held. This led me to call the doctor this morning. When we took her in at the end of the day, poor baby had a double ear infection!
The antibiotic should clear things up quickly though for some reason she does not love the bubble gum goodness the way I did back in the day. The only way she will take it for now is mixed with formula-gag! But the good news is we are on the road to recovery.
