Ok this might be a silly ? but hes never done this before..

Jaykob keeps waking up with this terrible "empty" cough.. IYKWIM? Like a bark? Its hard to explain! lol but it scares the **** out of him and im so worried to put him in his cot, so i have him (in my arms at present) but will prob. take him into our bed ( we co sleep anyway)

So is it just a run of the mill cough? Jaykobs never had a cold or a cough in his 8.5 months of life so this is new to me..

What can I give him for it ? Whats Whooping Cough ( i doubt he has this but curious so may aswell ask all this at once lol)

TIA
