Hello Padma,

It is heartbreaking to see such a little baby suffering of cold.

  • Breastfeeding is the best medicine for any ailment in such small babies. When baby sucks at mother’s breasts, s/he passes the infection into mother’s body. Mother’s body in turn produces antibodies to fight the infection and these antibodies are passed to baby through breastmilk. Thus if you are breastfeeding your baby, continue to do it till congestion clears.
  • If baby’s nose is completely congested, try squirting a little breastmilk into baby’s nostrils. It will help in relieving blocked and stuff nose and clearing up the infection. Never put any oil etc. in baby’s nose though.
  • If the cold is causing eyes to be stuck and congested, you may squirt a little breastmilk in baby’s eyes too.

  • You can try to applying a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a wash cloth and keep it beside baby while sleeping. It will make breathing easier.
  • Also elevate baby’s head while sleeping.
  • You can also put saline water drops. In case of blocked or stuffy nose, nasal saline drops help a lot by relieving congestion. Saline drops are simply salt and water solution which are present over the counter and help in relieving blocked nose.
