Sick Baby :(

Hi fellow moms- I have a beautiful 9month old who has been sick with a cold for the past six days. It started with a runny stuffy nose and has now progressed to this horrible cough that sounds like it's trying to break up phlem in her chest. In addition, she has a slight temp of 101 (rectal).

Constipated Breastfed Baby

My four month old son is breastfed, but seems to get constipated. He only poops about once a week, which I think can be normal for a breastfed baby, but has so much trouble going. When he finally does go, it is the right color (mustard?), but it looks a little thick.

Thanks!
