What to do if my baby has a cold?

The best sleeping position for a baby with a cold is on their back, as this reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Sleeping on the back also helps clear mucus from the airways and makes it easier for the baby to breathe. Make sure the baby's head is slightly elevated and place a firm, flat surface under the mattress to keep it level. Keep the room cool and well-ventilated, and make sure the baby is not too warm or covered in heavy bedding. It's also important to keep the baby's head uncovered to avoid overheating. Consult a pediatrician if you have any concerns or if the baby's cold symptoms worsen.
