4 Natural Remedies for a Cough,Cold, and/or Congestion

Cough/Cold/Congestion

  • Humidifier – I keep it running year round. Also, I put a couple drops of eucalyptus oil in the water which helps baby breath.
  • Steam – I have taken lot of showers with my kids. The steam helps the cough, cold and congestions PLUS it makes them feel better having that time with mommy or daddy.
  • Elevate baby’s head. I’ve had my kids sleep in their bouncy seat and I also have one side of their crib slightly propped to keep their head elevated when they sleep.
  • Saline water – a few drops of room temperature saline water in the nose will help break up the phlegm. Give the water a few minutes to soak in the nose and then use the bulb syringe to suck out the mucus.
