The common cold spreads very easily and quickly and it is sometimes hard to avoid. It is recommended that babies under 6 months of age should not have over the counter medicine. So what can you do? Here are a few natural remedies to help your baby survive through the not so kind cold.
Use a humidifier
Add eucalyptus oil to the humidifier
Use natural healing balm under the nose
Use a nasal aspirator
Warm chamomile tea (6 months and over)
Warm chicken broth by spoon or a bottle
A warm bath
Prop up the crib mattress to help with drainage
Make a vitamin C packed baby smoothie (8 months and over)
