Coughs and Colds in Babies

DD2 (17 weeks) has got a slight cough and cold, nothing major, but it breaks my heart, what can I do to make her more comfortable?
I have been using vaporiser...anything else?

Thanks

Unfortunately now. Keeping using the steam, it will eventually work. :hug: It's heartbreaking, DD2 had a cold at 2 weeks of age.

Hi Queen,
It is heartbreaking to see them sick :hug: to both of you. my little girl had the same at 14 weeks. Fess nasal drops is excellent to clear the nose (non-medicated). It will also help the cough since the cough is from mucus dripping doen the back of their throut while sleeping. Try putting Vicks vaporub/eukybear rub/eucalyptus oil on a bib and attach to cot ( don't apply directly to baby). This helps a lot. Also, spray heaps of Fess - a couple of sprays every 1-2 minutes until dripping and give bub tummy time. clears mucus and helps them breathe a lot better. My DD just sneezes it all out (mucus and all), but you can use the nasal aspirator that comes with the Fess. HTH.
