Kyle has a runny nose while Cleo has an itchy throat..

Although many say babies who are breast fed seldom fall sick, my little boy has fallen into the minority. Kyle's nose has been running and we have brought him to see his pediatrician (which cost us a hefty $75!) who has given him 2 doses of meds to be taken before and after feeds. His runny nose has caused him difficulty in breathing through his nose and has affected his appetite as he seems to be running out of breath while sucking with his mouth. Sigh. His breathing is also unusually loud and he sounds like he is snoring when he sleeps. We try not to wipe his nose so often so that it will not hurt. 

Meanwhile, I have also succumbed to the bad weather, lack of sleep and recent spread of flu viruses. My throat is so itchy, I feel like putting my hand in and scratching my throat. I do hope that I do not fall sick though my nose is beginning to feel a little stuffy. Fingers crossed, praying that mother and son will be well.
