My little one has a cold and he can’t barley breathe from all the mucus so my pedestrian told me he should sleep in the car seat that way he can sleep better and breath is that actually a good idea has any other moms have done this ?
I would get a different doctor. Saline and aspiration are the first steps in this case and there are warnings out NOT to let your baby sleep in the car seat due to the risks of positional asphyxiation. Children have died being left to sleep in their car seats.
Maybe sleeping in one of those swings things, very comfortable for babies and safe! The sit up kind tho 🤷🏼♀️. @bj1605,

And he didn’t suggest something as simple as saline drops and a suction bulb?? Or a humidifier?!? Fire him!
You can try elevating baby's crib with a board book or two to help with drainage also. Elevation only needs to be an inch or two to be effective and is very safe and easy to do. Good luck momma! Lots of snuggles for the poor kiddo!

When a car sear isnt in the car, the baby is not sitting right. And the straps can strangle them, even with them loose babys head can fall into a position that blocks air ways.. So many babies have dies because of being left in carseats to sleep. Warm baths help, with a generous amount of baby vicks on the bottom of their feet with socks on over night (but wash it off forst thing in the morning.) also, get fresh ginger, slice it into thin slices and put it on babes chest with a patch over it. Leave it on overnight, and take it off and give them a bath first thing in the morning.. The ginger will help breal up mucus in the chest and help clear things up faster.

Nope nope nope. That was BAD advice. Car seats are not for sleeping and put baby at risk for positional asphyxiation. Vicks is also a no as it contains eucalyptus which is a no for under 10- even baby Vicks. Saline spray, snot sucker and lots of cuddles.
@laniejay : Thanks! I will take a look. My pediatrician has told me to put the Vicks on her clothing not directly on her skin. Or to use a small amount mixed with our oil of choice. I'll read the link. Thanks for responding.
@xryztalroze : I don't see where the link speaks of Vicks. It's talking about essential oils which are concentrated oils. Am I missing something? I realize the ingredients used in essential oils may be the same but the compound is different. I appreciate the link and will read it again but have to say that I still agree with the use of Vicks at this time. But thank you for sharing.
@laniejay please see my report below. Sorry some how I replied to myself. Hand to forehead.

NO!!! I have a little chair thing that keeps his head elevated a bit and that helps . But get a humidifier and Vick’s as well . And the baby Frieda and saline work wonders

No no NO there was a 15 month who suffocated from sleeping in her car seat about three months ago...do not do it. I can't even believe he would suggest that!! Baby Vicks on chest and feet. Lots of saline spray and suck those boogies out
Chanty RodМама сына (1 год), беременна (30 нед.)
Yeah I never did it and I figure it’s very uncomfortable for them and I did put baby Vick’s on chest and feet and some under his nose so he can try to breath and I do stuck them before he went to bed but oh boy he fight with me he hate anything in his nose
EmilyМама двоих (1 год, 3 года)
@bj1605, I am so glad you didn't do it. That is so dangerous and that pediatrician should have never said that. Yes it's really hard when they are sick. Do you have a cool air humidifier?
Chanty RodМама сына (1 год), беременна (30 нед.)
@ecahanes, yes I have it next to his playpen I just put it on for him
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
Ugh I feel so bad for my baby. He has a cold and is having trouble breathing through his nose so he can’t sleep.
What’s a good way to help my son sleep at night while he has this cold? He’s super congested. :(
My husband is sleeping with his mouth WIDE OPEN and I'm over here about to die from holding my breath. 😂 He's only been asleep for 2 hours and already has morning breath. #SomebodyComeGetMe
Why does my child not sleep at night? He naps great during the day, but as soon as we get into bed he has his eyes wide open and has no interest in sleeping.. I'm so tired 😭
