M had something similar 2 weeks ago along with a runny nose. I think the cool mist humidifier when she's sleeping really helped with the coughing.

Sounds like a cold, we had something really similar going around our house in the last 2 weeks. Our ped told us to use a cool mist humidifier in his room and to use the saline drops in his nose and suction it out. The saline really helped us get his nose more clear and he could breathe better, so he slept a little better.

@regberadaisy: we used Little Noses, the bottle can be used as either a spray or drops depending on how you hold the bottle. We used it as drops. E hated it with a passion, but it really did help him.

I don't remember when you can use it, but we have used baby vics for our daughter (who is two and a half now) and that sort of helps. But there is so little that you can give them when they are that little..... I have also read that you can roll up a towel and put it under the crib mattress so that the baby is slightly elevated. We never tried that, but it might work. Good luck!

@Mrsbells: interesting that your doc specifically reco'd the spray. I'll have to add that to my list of questions to ask at her 4month appointment.

Oh yeah, we did the hot steam and elevated bed thing too.
