Hi does she have a lot of phlegm and mucus as well. If she does spray sterimar into her nose and use a nasal aspirator to suck out the mucus. Prop her mattress or pillows up so that it is easier to breathe. I will also run a hot bath and bring baby into the bathroom after that as the warm vapor can make it easier for them to breathe. When babies are coughing they tend to vomit milk so just be prepared to clean up the mess and go easy on the milk if they are not too keen to drink

Yes and she choked when she tried to cough out last night when she is sleeping. She is 6mths +

Just to add on to Yeng Lee regarding the milk. It would be better for you to give your lo diluted milk during this period of time. Milk causes phlegm as well, which will make them end up coughing and thus vomit.

I'm giving her bm, can it be diluted?
