I don't think there is much you can give him. My DS's has had a couple of colds since he was a few months old and each time I've taken him to the Dr's, with the hope they will suggest something for his cough - especially for night time where he would have trouble sleeping because of it - there was not much they could do. Though the 1st cough he had the doctor thought it sounded a little bit croupie so prescribed an antibotic, but was only allowed to be given once and I don't think it helped ease the coughing as such- just prevented it going to his chest - so I guess it depends on what sound of cough it is. Most of our coughs though are just the usual cold coughs.

I did ask the question in my baby buddies thread a couple of times though and someone did say the Brauer's Cough medicine could be given though it does say on the bottle for 2years and up but apparently they've called the company and they said it was ok (maybe someone else could clarify this, but being your little one is only 2months old - not sure if that might be a little too early to give him it if it is allowed for younger babies)....we never ended up giving it to our DS though and it seemed to ease within a couple of days.

If you haven't done so, maybe a vapouriser in his room might help and maybe if you feel ok doing so, an EBM might be easier for him to drink -we've always done a combination of BF and EBM though - but I understand some people are not comfortable giving bottles or bubs just won't accept it - but this is just what we found worked for us.

I hope you's all feel better soon.
