Question

Accepted Answer

Hi, the temperature and weather is changing so it's very common. Make sure you dress the baby properly as per the weather. Also, continue with breast milk. Give little warm soups which will help. Roast ajwain and make a potli, keep that potli nearby to baby when he sleeps. Put warm mustard oil on nails. Also, if the baby is not breastfeeding then continue with formula like Aptamil Gold stage 2 formula. It comes with prebiotics which helps in keeping the gut healthy. Healthy gut means the body is able to fight pathogens and hence there will be a lesser chance of cough and cold.
