Cold and cough

note: if you're worried go to the dr.
are you breastfeeding? if so, there's not a lot you can take, unfortunately. drink lots of water, tea+honey
if you're not breastfeeding i swear by dayquil (it's got cougj stuff in it).
for your kiddo all you can do is monitor. if nothing else seems wrong, they'll be ok (my kiddo almost never has a real cough, but when i start coughing he coughs too. he thinks it's funny)

GP appointment to get baby & yourself checked over

Mention it to your HV or midwife if you have this available to you

Windows open every morning to get fresh air into your home

Purchase a humidifier (read the reviews etc before)

Keep baby upright as much as possible (carrier / being held) & safely incline their crib / cot if you can as we all tend to cough more lying down

Keep baby hydrated - little & often

When you have a bath or shower the steam will help your wee one if nearby, just don’t over dress baby or have too close to the heat etc or for too long!

For yourself - paracetamol, hydration, electrolytes, supplements for PP, good nutritious foods, rest when you can, avoid unnecessary plans & focus on yourself, bath, face masks, steamy showers! 🤍
