    Keep his fluids up and if he develops a fever take him in...just because of his young age. My DD2 and DD3 also got colds early on...the joys of being siblings!

    All the breastfeeding will help boost him back up xx here's to a speedy recovery!

    DB not nice when they are sick so little I agree with Cassius, keep fluids up, which you will anyway as you are demand feeding. He's probably sleeping more fighting it off. If he gets a temp get him checked seeing as he's so little. If you feel he's not feeding as much try offering an extra feed here and there.
    DS is nearly out the others side of her cold now and handled it pretty well.

    If he has trouble feeding with nasal congestion you can use a snot sucker(for lack of the correct name right now ) to clear him out a bit. Vaporisers are good too.
