Nebulizer Mask

Does anyone else have nebulizers?

I have 3 sets of triplets and it is common for asthma in twins or triplets. Anyway, 2 of my oldest triplets (4) were whizzing so I took them to the doctor and they have asthma. The doctor wanted to check my other son, and turns out he has asthma too, but not as bad. He wants them all to go on a nebulizer. They have to take it once a day and we go back to see him in a week. The first day (2 days ago) was great, they seemed kind of interested in the mask and sort of laughed at it. Then second day was the same, although they got a little cranky at the end. Today it was a nightmare and I ended up having to do it one at a time with a bunch of kids screaming around me. What are some tips to help them keep a nebulizer mask on?
Yea when I was at the doctor he told me he wanted to see my 8 month old baby triplets. I can’t imagine asthma for them at such a young age.
Yea I purposely bought everyone an animal instead of the other scarier looking ones.

My little girl has Cystic Fibrosis. She will have at least one neb treatment (and she has so far been up to 7 when she was sick) every day for the rest of her life. Is is not easy at this point and we gave up on masks at all for a while and have done “blow by” which is not as good. I am going to have to slowly get her used to the masks again though. I suggest putting a favorite movie on for them and do it all in one shot. Each boy should have a compressor machine and their own neb supplies so that should work out. Just save the movie for when they get their treatments. We sing to my daughter sometimes and take special time to talk to her. I hope some of this helps. Take care and I am so sorry to hear about their asthma!

EDIT: Oh yes yes yes ….I read some of the other answers and if they refuse or if Heaven forbid your little ones have it when they are sleeping is GREAT!! Lol. Good Luck!
