A. It is not recommended to cover your baby's face while they sleep, especially if they have a cold. Babies need to breathe easily and freely, and covering their face can restrict airflow, potentially leading to difficulty breathing. If your baby has a cold, it's important to ensure their nose and mouth are unobstructed to help them breathe properly. You can keep the room warm and comfortable with a humidifier to help with congestion, and elevate their head slightly to reduce nasal blockage. Always monitor your baby while they sleep to ensure they are comfortable and can breathe easily. If you are concerned about your baby's breathing or cold symptoms, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician.
