Advice please - 4 week old with cough and snuffle!
in Baby
Is there anything I can do to help him'? He seems to be coughing during his sleeps and disturbing himself and coughing more so when he first wakes up. He also sounds grisly/chesty when breathing during his naps - hes 4.5 weeks old
Is there anything I can do?

my LO had a cold when she was 3 weeks old it was awful! I found that sitting in a bathroom with the hot taps running helped as the steam cleared her chest a bit. Also propping her cot/moses basket up at the head end so she wasnt lying completely flat, putting karvol crystals or a tablet in an oil burner in her room and as a last resort I used some saline drops to put up he nose but tbh Im not sure that helped. Plus trying to put anything up a 4 week old baby's nose is no fun!
If it carries on for longer than a couple of weeks though Id go and get him checked out as sometimes it can turn into bronchiolitus which is very common in small babies.
Hope your LO feels better soon.xxx
i use a karvol plug in in her room. snufflebabe rub on her chest. i put olbas oil drops in a sink of hot water and shut bathroom door.
not sure if this stuff is for babies over 3 months though.
hope it helps.
