POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. If your 10-month-old baby has a heavy cold, follow these remedies to help relieve symptoms:

✅ Steam Inhalation – Sit with the baby in a steamy bathroom for 10 minutes to loosen mucus.
✅ Elevate Baby’s Head – Slightly raise the head while sleeping to help with breathing.
