Mommy Tip: Nebulizing

Basti absolutely hates nebulizers, thats why when he has asthma attacks, I only nebulize him when he is sleeping.

But the other day, he seemed more sensitive to the sound of the nebulizer than most days, and even if he was sleeping soundly, he would wake up when i tried to nebulize him and refuse to continue, of course.

So to make him "want" to nebulize, I thought of showing him videos from youtube of babies being nebulized, who seemed to be having fun, and were not making such a fuss. There was even one video f a kid singing while on the nebulizer.

This helped Basti be comfortable about it, when he saw that other kids did it too and it shouldn't be scary :)

So while he was nebulizing, we were watching videos of kids doing the same on youtube, then I also turned on the webcam, so he could also see himself while he was nebulizing and could compare it to the videos :)

Yun lang. I guess my tip is when your child feels scared or resists doing something, it may be because he feels its not normal and other people are not doing it. So you just have to show him there's nothing to be scared of, by doing it yourself or showing other people doing it :)
