Britt and I both have a cough. That dry, itchy, nagging cough that usually means you're at the tail-end of a cold (yippee!), but could drag on for a while (bummer). It attacks at night and especially when you lay down in bed. It takes me forever to get to sleep.
And poor Britt is woken up by hers throughout the night (which means I am too). Anybody know how to relieve a baby's cough? The cough syrup I have is natural but honey-based so she can't have it until she's a year. I'm still nursing her so I don't want to take anything strong for myself.
I end up popping a cough drop after falling into bed, but that only offers temporary relief and if I don't fall sleep right away, I need another one. The scary thing is that sometimes I fall asleep with the cough drop in my mouth. I'm afraid I'm going to choke to death on one someday!
Did I mention that Britt is sleeping in our room so I have to smother my face in the comforter while coughing, so as to not wake her? Yeah. Any suggestions on this topic will be desperately tried out with gratitude!
I wish I could fall asleep quickly and sleep as soundly as the girl in this video. :)
