POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Frequent colds in a 2-month-8-day-old baby can be due to an immature immune system and exposure to viruses. Babies catch colds easily but usually recover well.
✅ Home Remedies for Relief
1️⃣ Saline Nasal Drops – Use 2-3 drops in each nostril to clear mucus. This helps the baby breathe and feed better.
2️⃣ Steam Therapy – Sit with the baby in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes to ease congestion (do not expose the baby directly to hot steam).
3️⃣ Breastfeeding More – Breast milk has antibodies that help fight infections. Feed frequently to keep the baby hydrated.
4️⃣ Use a Humidifier – A cool-mist humidifier in the baby’s room prevents dryness and soothes the nose.
5️⃣ Keep Baby Warm – Dress in light layers and avoid cold air exposure.
🚨 When to See a Doctor?
❌ Baby has breathing difficulty, wheezing, or nostrils flaring.
❌ High fever (above 100.4°F) or refusal to feed.
❌ Cough lasting more than 10 days or worsening cold.
❌ Lips or face turn bluish.
Since your baby is still very young, be cautious with medications—always consult a doctor before giving any medicine. Let me know if you need more help!
