Listening to your baby cough can be tough to hear, especially if it’s keeping them awake at night.

Make sure your baby gets plenty of rest and offer extra breastfeeds or bottle feeds so he gets enough fluid to fight off the infection

You may be quick to reach for the cough medicines, but there’s still a lot of debate over whether they work. ‘They may work in older children by having a placebo effect – which is when a person’s symptoms improve through their belief that they will, rather than the actual medicine,’ says Naomi. ‘But in younger babies and toddlers, they don’t really make much difference and are often high in sugar which isn’t good for your child’s teeth.’This is a more serious cough.

is caused when the smallest airways of the lungs get infected, becoming swollen and filled with mucus. This blocks the flow of air, making it harder for your baby to breathe.‘It’s caused by a virus, so you can’t be prescribed antibiotics by your GP as they only work on bacterial infections,’ says Naomi. However, it should clear up in a few weeks. You could sit with your baby in a steamy bathroom to help relax their airways and ease any coughing symptoms.This cough has a very distinctive sound.
