My LO is 7 weeks old tomorrow and has a little cough and a cold. I took him to the doctors yesterday but they said he was fine.
I just wanted to know if there is anything anyone can recommend it’s really hard seeing him like this.

Exactly like my LO , his got a little cough and I wonder if there is anything I can do about it 😕

I had the same and it was horrible not to be able to do anything.
I used infant nasal saline spray to help, it makes her sneeze which helps clear her a little. I also adjusted the next to me cot so that one end is 1 notch higher so that she is slightly elevated at night. Other than that just lots of cuddles.
We did get a vicks humidifier (cold water) but im not sure that has actually helped) .

We are in the same position at the moment, just using saline spray and having lots of cuddles. I'll maybe try and elevate her crib to see if that helps. It horrible not being able to give them anything really isn't it

Humidifiers work a charm, but when they are struggling, hold them upright until they shift the mucus.

Hey everyone, any updates? I'm in the same situation with my 7 week old, anxiety is so bad! On top of being tired…juat don't want to miss anything!

my baby is all better now. I just started opening all the windows upstairs of a morning for a couple of hours to let some fresh air around the house and the same night I done that he was so much better so I have carried on with it and he has been fine. I ordered humidifiers and tried loads of other things that didn’t work. Hope this can help you. X
