Everyone else has given great advice.  We use a product called Euky Bear Rub on our girls, and it does help.  I'm addicted to the smell of it too! lol.

For a cold,

I don't think there is anything much that you can do but wait it out..ugh..I know that's hard..

Lots of fluids is a must..

If your little one has a fever, tylenol will help..If it's oersistent, definitley call the doc because it is most likely a sign of something else..

Good luck and I hope your baby feels better very soon

Re: help!

The best thing you can do is:

1. get yourself a humidifier from the chemist.  This will help her breath better

2. Elevate the head of the cot.  Get some think books and put them under the legs at the top of the cot.  This will stop anything running to the back of her throat so she can breath etc...

3. Get some baby balsm from the chemist and put it on her back chest and feet.

For babies that age this is about all you can do.  Keep up with the fluids.
