    Thank you. It's always tough when your baby is sick...but always remember that they are tougher than we realize and they only get stronger after recovering! ❤️

    I always say the hardest part about being a parent is when you babies are sick!
    I hate it so much, I don’t like seeing my baby feeling bad😭

    Thank you so much. I'm a new mom who used to be an RN... As a new parent, it's so hard to put on that medical training hat, try not to freak out and feel so bad when my baby doesn't feel well. So far, my baby hasn't gotten sick yet except typical baby GI issues... Knock on wood. This video does help me to just have clear points to remember what to do.

    My little guy had his first illness last week too! What I didn't expect was the viral rash that popped up at the end. Thank God we called the doc who warned us about that. I would have thought he had measles!

    Watching this with a sick, miserable, whimpering eight month old baby girl curled up on my lap. She's had RSV for the past week, along with croup, bronchiolitis, and an ear infection and it's breaking my heart to see. I just want her to feel better already :(

    My five year & 3 month old had a horrible cold but both were good. I always thought breastfeeding helped reduce colds. But I love breastfeeding because I know it will reduce more problems. ☺ Thanks for helping me understand.

    Hi Sarah
    Am a first time mum and i have a 2 month old baby,when she was around 6 weeks she was very sick it got me really confuse because at that time i was alone cos my husband traveled for something and it took me almost forever to call my doctor because at first I thought i could handle it not until my baby couldn't sleep she was having pains all over her body
    I couldn't even carry my own baby because any part of her body i hole makes her cry so i decide to drop her and cry along with her(long story short) my mother came and we took her to the doctor and he confirm that she had a cold and its inside her lung which was why she feels pain all over body but thank God I noticed in time and took her to her doctor....we're very healthy now and I pray she doesn't get sick again cos its scary

      These can be very very scary if you’re not familiar with them, and I think scary for any parent no matter how familiar. Hopefully just a one-time occurrence for your little girl.

    Can you guys make a video about how to keep a baby (newborn) cool while out in the heat of summer? We are going to an outdoor graduation and will be outside for a while. I've watched a few videos about it but I feel like I can't trust every bit of advice because he is so young and they are not doctors.

    Thank you for sharing. What if baby doesn't have a fever breathing okay just occasionally when those boogers or mucus block the airways and once that gets out of the way baby starts breathing okay and also baby makes wet diaper but the only issue is baby don't each as much as before and sometimes could sleep 5hours without waking up for feeding. I just want to know if it's normal for a 5weeks old baby.

    • @TheDoctorsBjorkman
      @TheDoctorsBjorkman  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      This absolutely applies to babies with COVID. The keys are still to work to keep baby hydrated with frequent fluids, control fevers if they are causing baby to not be as active/drink as well, and make sure they aren’t having breathing issues that would need extra medical help.

    Hi, I'm wondering about using sterile saline in a portable nebulizer to help break down mucus in sinuses of an infant. We have sprayed sterile saline in baby's nose but it is extremely traumatic. It is the only way we know how to help baby break down mucus and expel it when sick with common cold. Does using saline in a nebulizer help with mucus management with young infants? What are some other suggestions for mucus management when babies are sick?

    Thank you for these extremely informative videos. With the omicron case surge, would you consider making a video on vaccination safety for pregnant women with latest scientific info? I’m still concerned about the nano particles as carrier for the mRNA and whether any metabolites of the vaccine would cross the placenta, and cross the blood brain barrier, which could impact a baby’s long term development. Thanks!

      Hi there, I saw the Pfizer ceo press conference this week who was quoted saying that a double dosage "provides little if any help with omicron" and a booster "may provide some protection." I'm pregnant and have decided to trust the therapeutics at hand as well as considering that under 65s have such limited risks when inevitably getting omicron, instead of opting for a vaccine.
