A. breast milk - no cure is greater than the only natural food for a new born babies.. it works as the remedy for an infection for baby within six months. Regular feeds also helps comfort a crancky baby who does not understand anything other than sense the touch of their mother. warm mustard oil - warm a cup of musturd oil with two cloves of garlic and a few ajwain seeds. massage it on baby's feet, chest and palms. honey and pepper-( for babies more than 1 years old) add a pinch of powdered pepper to a spoon of honey and feed the baby at regular intervals like in night and morning. this is good for both cold and cough. also give warm water to drink regularly and veggies soup like moong dal khichdi carrot soup.. give indirect steam with few drops of saline in it.. its help cough problem and clear stuffy nose. if the cold or a cough persists more than three days, do see a pediatrician to confirm it to be a common cold and a symptom of something else.
