Safe home remedies for colds in babies, toddlers, and kids
You don't always need to treat cold symptoms. If your child seems unfazed by a stuffy nose or cough, it's okay to skip the suctioning, gargling, warm liquids, and other remedies and let the illness run its course.
Baby cough when to worry
But when it comes to helping your child feel better, these home remedies (plus a lot of TLC) can make a big difference.
Home remedies for colds in babies

Liquids – orally, in the air, and as a nasal treatment – are key.

Extra fluids
Your baby will feel better when well hydrated, and the extra fluids can help thin nasal secretions, too.
Breastfeeding or formula feeding more frequently is the best way to keep your baby well hydrated. If your baby is having trouble at the breast or bottle because of stuffiness, try suctioning their nose first (see below).
