POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. If your baby is coughing during sleep, it could be due to several common reasons, and understanding the pattern can help determine the cause:
Postnasal Drip: If your baby has a cold or allergy, mucus can drip down the throat while lying down, triggering a cough. Dry Air: Especially in air-conditioned or heated rooms, dry air can irritate the baby’s throat. Mild Reflux: In some babies, stomach contents may come up slightly when lying down, causing coughing. Allergies or Dust: Dust, pet dander, or even bedding material can cause an allergic cough, especially at night. What You Can Do: Elevate the Head Slightly: Raise the head of the mattress slightly (not with a pillow directly under the head for babies) to reduce postnasal drip or reflux. Use a Humidifier: A cool-mist humidifier in the room can help keep air moist and soothe the throat. Saline Drops: If there is nasal congestion, saline nasal drops before sleep can help clear the nose. Keep the Room Clean: Ensure bedding is dust-free and avoid using strong room fresheners or perfumes. Breastfeed or Offer Water: Depending on the baby’s age, keeping them hydrated helps ease the throat.
If the cough persists for more than a few nights, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, wheezing, or difficulty breathing, consult your pediatrician immediately. Avoid giving cough syrups unless prescribed, especially for babies under 2 years.
