For Baby's Cold & Cough: Saline Nasal Drops – Use Nasivion Saline Baby drops to clear nasal blockage. Steam Therapy – Sit with the baby in a steamy bathroom for 5-10 minutes to ease congestion. Breastfeeding – Continue breastfeeding frequently to boost immunity. Elevate Baby’s Head – Slightly tilt the mattress to help with breathing. Use a Humidifier – Helps maintain moisture in the air to reduce congestion. Gentle Chest Rub – Apply a baby-safe vapor rub (like Baby Vicks) on the chest and feet (avoid the nose). Keep Baby Warm but Not Overheated – Dress in soft, breathable layers. For You (To Prevent Spreading More to Baby): Wear a mask while feeding or handling the baby. Wash hands frequently. Drink warm fluids like ginger tea to recover faster. When to See a Doctor? Baby has difficulty breathing or wheezing. Fever above 100.4°F (38°C). Reduced feeding or dehydration (fewer wet diapers).
If symptoms persist beyond 5 days or worsen, consult a pediatrician. Let me know if you need further guidance!
