Congestion Woes.

Last night's struggles that took me back to newborn days when our big boy simply didn't settle and we were up all hours of the night with him. 

The air was dry and little noses were really stuck. I realised purchasing a humidifier wouldn't solve the problem because ultrasonic cool mist humidifiers, the predominant ones on the market these days, seem to come with some potential health risks too.

We decided to do things the old way and pop a bowl of water in each room. I may or may not have also carried our spare kettle upstairs to boil water and disperse some warm vapour into the air. Throughout the day we paid a little more attention to keeping the humidity up, especially when the heat pump was on.

It seems to have paid off and the littlies seem to be sleeping better tonight, breathing easier. It's been a rough past few days. Hopefully things will turn a corner soon.
