My son is being strictly breastfed. He is 2 months old, he will be 3 months in 2 weeks he has a very stuffy nose and a cough! Is there any thing I can do to make him feel better? I am using the nasal saline drops for his nose and I am also using a Humidifiers. Is there any thing else I can do when my 2 month old has a cold?

My lil boy of 7 months has a little cold... I give him Saline Drops for his nose and Baby Panadol, which work great. I also swear by "Vicks - Baby Balsam" - that's what its called in Australia. You put just a little on his chest, neck and back and it works wonders and lets bub breathe easier. Now it IS for children that are 3 months and over so maybe just check with your Dr or Pharmacist before using when your 2 month old has a cold. Maybe just go to www.vicks.com and you can check it out there :) Hope this helps x x

You can try baby Panadol if your 2 month old has a cold, it relieves general aches and pains.
