Valentino’s cough- 7 months old

Valentino’s cough- 7 months old

The past three nights have been completely sleepless with Valentino waking up 8-10 times a night coughing himself awake. When I hear him coughing away in his crib I run to the crib and pick him up to help him clear the mucus. During the day he coughs 5-6 times. I presume that when he lays down at night, the mucus is building up and causing him to cough more.

Because he also has weepy eyes and a runny nose…I can’t tell if this cough is a normal baby cold/flu or if it is CF related. Either way, Marlene has put together a new essential oil plan for us to try out.

We will be using a sonic diffuser set to time on and off periodically through the night (only running 5 minutes at a time) to diffuse the following oils:

inula- to break up the mucus

german chamomile- get rid of the waste from the bacteria in the mucus

tea tree oil- anti viral

lemon- immune boost (and it just smells so good!)

eucalyptus- break up mucus

This is a strong blend of oils. The german chamomile in particular comes through and is very strong. I am adding this to the current regimine of running a salinizer next to his crib throughout the night.

I hope this clears up his cough and he can get some sleep and keep breathing easy.
