Of course. A nice soft,warm washcloth can be soothing. A mom's gentle touch is always welcome when little ones don't feel well.

A humidefier would help. Also, saline solution in the nose and then suctioned out helps. Pedicare makes even infant cold medicine.  See this link:http://www.askdrsears.com/html/8/T089800.asp\nIf he doesn't get better, see a doctor soon!  Good luck!

You can bathe them with a liquid soap called Cetaphil.  It is extremely gentle and can be used without water.  On the back of the bottle are instructions of how to use it without water.

Keep your baby hydrated.  Have a cool mist humidifier in the room where the baby sleeps.  Try steaming up the bathroom and let the baby breathe that.  Ask your doctor if there is any medicine you can give him.  Keep his nose clear with a bulb syringe.

You are worrying way to much, the child will not get sick from the formula from it just being out for that long. Formula milk can stay out for like 8 hours and still be fine to drink. But I wouldnt give it to my child after a longer period of 8 hours, I have a 7 month old little girl and a 2 year old boy and they have never gotten sick from formula that was made for them before when we go to bed and then given to them when they get up later in the night. Dont worry so much it is ok.

Yes, sometimes, especially if you are sick already!

Yes, some people  let fevers run their course.  This is because a fever is your body's natural response to fighting off infections.  We usually treat fevers because they make us uncomfortable.  In my opinion, luke warm baths are ineffective and uncomfortable.   Perhaps your son has a respiratory infection.  If your son is really uncomfortable I would ask your doctor if it is ok to give him tylenol or advil.  Sometimes doctor's recommend alternating both of them.

You're on track with the baby oil...but there is a special brush that you're supposed to use along with the scrubbing of their oiled up little head!!  Usually the hospital will supply you with this brush.  It is pretty soft and pliable, but yet spiky and it pretty much "scrapes" the scaliness off without hurting them, of course, and usually off it goes.  It is nothng more than extremely dry skin...and that in particular shouldn't make them lose their hair, but if your baby is a newborn (which I am assuming), they definitely do lose hair at first.  And you're like, oh my gosh, my baby is going bald, but it's normal.  Go to your nearest Babies R' Us to get the brush I am talking about....ask the people working there, they will know what you mean by wanting a cradle cap brush!!!

Staph on the skin can lead to red, fluid-oozing sores, itching and general redness. But once Staph has entered the body, it can lead to harmfull illness like bone problems, and even pneumonia. I would ABSOLUTELY not let your brother hold your little one (anyone under the age of 5) unless he has THOROUGHLY washed his hands. Depening on how severe the outbreak, I would even go so far as to recommend gloves and perhaps a mask. Don't take any chances with your precious angel, Staph is hard for the little ones to kick. Good luck!

Sit Down and grab a bucket or pan...go to the hospital ASAP! Soon you will be dehydrated...and will be even sicker and very weak.

You may want to hydrate yourself before going in. Sweating looses a lot of water. If you get in without drink some, you could pass out before you realize you are sick. Drink at least 8 oz but probably more. Take time to relax, like 15-30 minutes, while you drink and make sure the water is not very cold. The more tepid the water is the easier it will digest without making you feel like a water balloon.

No!  I just had a baby and it is bad for you.  Her body will clean her out naturally.

Definitely not! Whirlpools and saunas are big no-no's for pregnant women! The temperature is way too high for the baby.

my daughters are 18months and 3 months and the oldest was doing the same thing my doctor said try a humidifier at night.  also you can turn your shower on hot let the bathroom steam up good then run a warm bath maybe put some calming bath soap in the water and just let her play untill the water starts getting cold or she starts getting tired whatever comes first.  when you get her out dry her off good and put a t-shirt on her nothing to heavy(sometimes wearing heavey clothing can cause them to get hot and make them caugh also)then let her sleep with the humidifer.  after a couple nights i could really hear a difference in my 18 month olds breathing she slept more peacefull the sounds from the machine also sooth my 3 month old to where she is now sleeping better also

That is a really funny question.  I guess I never associated the words good and sick together before.  Just do the opposite of what your momma told you when you were little to prevent catching a cold. You know, don't wear a coat, go out with a wet head, don't wear a hat, wear shoes with no socks, don't eat right and get plenty of sleep, and of course do go out and stand in the rain and get soaked.
