What do you do when baby has a cold?

My DD, 12 months has a head cold. Nothing major, just wondering what remedies you use?
I put some vicks on her feet with socks before bed but she is just generally unhappy and I don't know how to help her :(

Hi kelsbels

We do lots of nice warm showers in a steamy bathroom. Vapouriser in her room, raise her head in bed and when required put a vicks like product (cant think of the name of it) on a hankie under her pillow. And of course, lots and lots of cuddles. Im sorry to hear your little one is sick :hug:

Thanks Lily! It's not nice is it, especially to see them so unhappy and not much we can do. Thanks for the suggestions x
