mucus problem

If your child has mucus and is 3 months old, what would you recommend the person should do?? i tried explaining to them Pedialyte. now she is giving the child cereal and water .. nOw is that bad to do if the child has mucus? i know milk isn't good but idk.. i also suggested her calling her childs dr also, but she said the dr dont open till 10:30 now was it wrong i suggested her calling because dont drs have the 24 hour emergency number to contact the childs dr? she makes up every excuse not to go.. now if it has something to do with your child, wouldnt you try to get urself there??

If there's no I dextrin doctors can't do anything. Dd has bad sinuses and always gets bad mucus she has since she was a baby. Just suck her nose and let it run it's course unless she got an Infection. The baby does not need anything like cereal or pedialyte.

Mucus? Like snot? All her mom needs to do is suck it out.

There's no need to feed baby anything different. That actually makes no sense.

A runny.nose? How old is this kid?

She said 3 mos.

Umm in my experience feeding a sick child makes them choke and usually they end up puking anyway. formula or breast milk is ask they need when they are sick. A nose bulb for suction and Justs little tykes nose drops. It is saline solution that you can find at any cvs for 3 or 4 bucks

A 3 month old NEEDS to be getting her nutrients from breastmilk, or formula, whatever the mom feeds her. Giving her cereal and water, or pedialyte, or whatever the hell, is only going to make her hungry or dehydrated. There is no need to feed her differently.

Use a nose sucker and go about the day as normal. Lol.

Unless she BFs then she can use that as saline instead  

the child still needs to be fed. a cold mist humidifier, a boogie sucker and some saline drops...really all you can do.

But the thing is she giving him whole milk not formula at 3 mths. Also.

Tell her she needs to talk to a licensed medical dr for that advice.
