Also what could have caused cold? Last night I wiped her body with wet wipes before making her sleep at 11pm....and changed her clothes to light night wear types... Did this so that she sleeps for 3-4 hrs at a stretch...she s sleeping for 4hrs at a stretch since last 2 nights....before that she was sleeping for about an hour at a stretch and was all cranky throughout the night. I give her bath everyday...yesterday gave her a head bath...😐 Last night AC was on whole night at 26 degree. Earlier we we're switching off and on for about 2 hrs at a stretch...
Pls help.. she s too small to suffer from cold/cough. I want to relieve her asap. What should I eat/drink and what precautions to be maintained in future? P.s: I had a csec delivery @Rebecca Prakash , @Aditi Ahuja , @Swati upadhyay

U can wipe the baby with wet wipes but before going to sleep give the baby hot oil massage(with burnt garlic)if a/c is on (set the temperature on 28)plz mk sure that baby is wearing full sleave clothes .apply euclyptus oil on her clothes..2drops on clothes and her pillow ..u can pour euclyptus oil in her water...use luke warm water for bathing.<br>
Apply saline water(nasoclear) in her nose<br>
U can drink hot milk with haldi...<br>

Dear baby is too small so visit doctor for immediate help..the only thing you can have in food which can relieve baby as she will get from breast feed is ajwain and haldi boiled in water....as for bathing the baby ideal time is during day..at night sponging is good..just dry her well..and AC is not a problem as it is hot and humid season..cover the baby with a cotton sheet..if babies hair are wet before sleeping and AC is on she may catch cold so with towel try to dry her hair well..also massage little oil on her head.. I used to do it for my baby as she also used to catch cold in wet head....I also used to take a napkin or dupatta or cotton cap and just place it loosely around babies wet head when she slept so that <u>direct</u> Hawa naa lage..and when hair are dry then put on AC..till then fan is good..

I think what you eat or drink has nothing to do with the cold that baby got. Instead of wiping her body with wet wipes, wipe her body with warm water with the help of soft cloth. Also basically this is a season for cough and cold. Maintain good hygiene. Cover your mouth while feeding the baby if you have hot cold. Use steriliser before holding the baby. And ask everyone else to use it. AC at 26 is fine since the weather is hot. Just cover her with a thin cover sheet. As for her cough and cold, visit a paediatrician
