Croup


Somewhere during the week and half of endless nights due to the teething process the croup snuck in.  From what I have read its’ duration is 5-7 days.  I am not quite sure what day we ate on right now.  All that I know is that there are many nights without sleep, loss of appetite and fevers.  I have tried everything to get my little one to drink her milk, but she is not interested.  I just keep trying to feed her every chance I get. I give her some water and Pedialyte just to keep her hydrated.  I have gotten cool moist washcloths to get the fever down.  I am hoping for a good night sleep for my baby.  It is not good for her to have her sleep broken up so much.
