The other night, I was administering saline spray up The Bubby's nose, as per usual - I have been doing this almost every feed, especially overnight, as she is often sounding stuffy.
Unfortunately, not as per usual, she decided to throw her head around in that newborn fashion while I was spraying up her nose.
Ouch.
She screamed, and cried, and I started feeding her and she settled.
But there was blood on her nose, on her cheek and on me.
I felt so terrible - she was upset for less than a minute, but it turned my stomach to see her covered in blood. There were moments where I wouldn't have been surprised if I was about to be sick. Heartbreaking and stomach wrenching, my poor sweetheart.
She was fine the next morning, and there was just one snottie that had old blood on it. But I'm only using the spray when totally necessary from now on.
