What to Expect when your Baby has a Cold

A grumpy baby

For a mild cold, the thing you want to look out for is an agitated, clingy or restless baby. If your child doesn’t enjoy feeding or sleeping as much as they usually do, then something’s probably up. If you notice this, check for blocked and runny noses, or any other symptoms that you might experience yourself when you’ve got a cold (like sneezing, coughing, tiredness or a slight temperature). Basically, trust your intuition – you’ll know if something isn’t right.

If you spot any of these (or anything else unusual), don’t ever worry about calling your GP or health visitor for a second opinion. They’ll know best. In most cases it’ll just be a simple case of the sniffles and shouldn’t last longer than 3-5 days. Stay calm and don’t start to think you’ve done anything wrong – it’s just a part of those precious first years of growing up.

What can you do?

Thankfully, in most cases a cold isn’t going to cause too much of a fuss (even though your baby might make one), and there are quite a few sure-fire ways of keeping the virus at bay.

Firstly, keep your baby hydrated – it’s a good idea to get slightly more fluid into their body to prevent dehydration and to keep all the airways moist. Go slow, feed little but often and give them lots of cuddles to settle them down.

Then use a saline solution like Snufflebabe Nasal Drops, to clear their nose and help them breathe more easily. According to the instructions, simply squeeze 1 or 2 drops into each nostril and it’ll get to work. If your child is slightly older, you can use Snufflebabe Nasal Spray for an even easier way of clearing their noses. Try it after or during a bath, as the steam will help settle their stuffiness too.

You can also use a nasal aspirator. Snufflebabe’s clever one enables you to suck out any mucus just by placing its nozzle by the opening of the nostril. Once done, give it a clean and it’s ready to use again.

Keep the air in their bedroom clean and healthy, too. Try a humidifier to stop the air becoming too dry and keep your baby’s nose moist. If you want an extra hand for those little nostrils, then you could use some Snufflebabe Vapour Oil to add the calming, antibacterial and decongestant effects of lemon, pine and tea tree oil to the air.
