Oh, my dear!
I gave my baby my cold a couple of weeks ago and I still haven't shaken it, tho he has, and I totally share your tiredness!!!! It's hideous, isn't it?
Our pediatrician recommended raising the head of Ben's crib, using a vaporizer, and only when necessary using saline nasal drops and an aspirator (I did once and it made him spit up all over both of us, so I don't recommend!). He was a trooper and shook it and then we had to go get more immunizations and a flu shot which caused a low grade fever. Breastfeeding helped him with the cold, I think.
The combination (cold and shots) really threw him off his routine and so now I'm struggling with getting him back on track while I'M a walking zombie. I find myself popping out of bed and *poof* in front of his crib ready to scoop him up before I even realize I'm awake! FUN!!!
I guess I don't have much advice, per se, just in the same boat. Hanging in there and being consistent is the best I can do. Unfortunately, just as soon as we get it together, I have to take him in for an RSV/synagis shot (because he's a preemie). Then we start again...
