A. Hi, give indirect steam once in a day. Exclusively breast feed which is best for baby. Try to have Rasam and then feed your baby avoid taking a cold items as you’ll be breastfeeding. And avoid giving banana Purée and Apple purée for a couple of days until Baby gets cure. Other than that you can give all other vegetable and fruit purees. Give always lukewarm water to drink to baby. You can give basic cold medicine as suggested by your paediatrician.
