Hi Beckie, I also have an 8 month old and these are some things that helped when my baby was sick.
- micro-mist saline inhaler
- using humidifier in her room and adding essential oils (eucalyptus)
- baby elderberry drops to help boost immunity
I hope this helps!

thank you! Will give these a try. Which humidifier do you use or does it not matter x

I dont think it matters which one, but I use the Frida baby humidifier, here’s the link for it:

I found my LO struggled to sleep on his back, and wouldn't settle until he was on me for warmth and comfort. He seemed to sleep better in his front and could get a good cough!
