If your 9-month-old baby has a cough with a chesty sound (like congestion or wheezing), it could be due to mucus buildup from a cold or a mild respiratory infection. Keep your baby well-hydrated with breast milk or formula to help loosen the mucus. Use a humidifier or give gentle steam (sit with baby in a steamy bathroom) to ease breathing. Elevate the baby's head slightly while sleeping to reduce congestion. Gently pat the back to help loosen mucus, and keep the baby away from cold air, dust, or strong smells. If the cough persists, the baby has difficulty breathing, feeds less, or has a fever, consult a pediatrician promptly.
