ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician2 years agoA. coconut oil os cold in nature, but it won't causes cold to babies.. Common colds are usually caused by a virus mostly.. stick to the good home remedies like steaming, applying and massaging heated mustard oil to your baby's chest and back, increased breastfeeding, plenty of rest/sleep, and using nasal saline dropgf
