Sick baby

Having a sick baby is a lot of work. Can I just say that trying to suck your baby's snot out with a mini vacuum cleaner could very well be the hardest thing EVER! They work like a treat, but I just don't have the heart to pin him down, shove the thing up his nose and suck away. He thrashes around like the ending of Jaws 2. I'm afraid I'm hurting him and the crying doesn't help. There is nothing quite like the wrath of a sick baby. Irritability has sky rocketed. If he could permanently attach himself to me and hang on me all day, he would. I'm desperate to keep him entertained - even if that includes bundling him up and taking a ride in the stroller or letting him lick the peanut butter jar clean.
