When your baby comes down with a cough, you want to do whatever you can to make her more comfortable. Yet at the same time, you don't want to grab over the counter medication, since there are usually side effects and chemicals that you'd rather not expose babies to if it can be avoided. Consider this, a recent study as clearly shown that the ingredients in cough syrups are not as effective as once believed, in addition, the sugar contents may leave you sick for a longer period of time.

I do have a tip I can share with you, regarding this example, you can always try to solve these problems organically. My first trick is to take my child to the bathroom and run the shower on hot to create steam, which usually frees up and sort of mucus that is causing the congestion.

Water is a mircale drug, as you can also put your baby in a luke warm bath, which can also help free of the mucus from your childs lungs. The positive effects can be multiplied if you apply a natural oil such as sage or thyme.

If your baby has a persistent cough, perhaps it is the cold ac, you may want to try to keep your baby a little warmer and/or keep the thermostat a few degrees warmer. Do a search online and you will find many tips for babies.

Another great trick I have learned when a child has a sore throat, is to make a naturaly and organic tea. The warm herbal tea will help clear mucus out of your baby's lungs. Before providing your new born with tea, make sure you check with your pediatrician, to see the appropiate age to give tea to babies. You can help prevent your babies from becoming sick by being proactive, and feeding on the best baby food.
