Not sure where but I heard before that if your baby had green snot then they should go to the doctor.
I'm pretty sure there are other factors that need to be included as well so I'm just wondering what they are. Also could it be the start of a cold? Eimear had a wee bit today you see. I'm not overly concerned as her temperature is fine, she's a bit extra grizzly after her feeds today but she's a windy baby anyway so that's kinda normal. Everything else is perfect with her, she's sleeping and drinking normally. |

I'd keep an eye on her and if anything else is out of the ordinary then take her into the dr's. I think high temp and lack of fluids are the main things to watch for. ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

| Green snot generally means an infection of some sort, i.e a chest infection etc, or just a general cold, maybe just watch her and see how she goes? if shes like it in a couple of days maybe then take her to the doc?? |

I haven't seen anymore from her today thankfully.
I'm keeping an eye on her, but other than her usual windy grizzly self she seems to be doing alright. |
