1. **Keep the Air Moist**: Use a humidifier in the baby's room to keep the air moist, which can help ease congestion.
2. **Elevate the Head**: Elevate the head of the crib slightly to help your baby breathe more easily. Make sure to do this safely by placing a wedge under the mattress, not pillows in the crib.
3. **Clear Nasal Passages**: Use saline nasal drops and a bulb syringe to gently clear your baby's nasal passages.
4. **Hydration**: Ensure your baby stays well-hydrated with frequent breastfeeding or formula feeding.
5. **Comfort**: Provide extra comfort and cuddles to help your baby feel secure and soothe them back to sleep.
6. **Proper Clothing**: Dress your baby in comfortable, breathable clothing and keep the room at a comfortable temperature.
7. **Monitor Symptoms**: Keep an eye on your baby's symptoms. If the cold persists or worsens, or if your baby has a fever, difficulty breathing, or is unusually irritable, consult a pediatrician.
If you have any concerns about your baby's health or if symptoms persist, it's best to seek advice from a healthcare professional.
