Hello, Have you considered using something natural like homeopathic remedies? they can be great for babies when they get coughs and colds. There is a wonderful combination homeopathic remedy called ABC 30c which you can buy from most homeopathic pharmacies and if given hourly for up to 6 doses a day at the first sign of a cold, can often stop it from developing into anything more sinister. I am a local homeopath and I'm running a workshop teaching mums and dads how to use homeopathic remedies for acute complaints like coughs/colds/ear infections and fevers etc...Its starting on Monday 6th June from 10.30-12 at the Family Natural Health centre above soup dragon on lordship lane. Its running on three consecutive Mondays (6,13,20th June from 10.30-12) babies are welcome. It costs ?50 for the 3 sessions and that includes a free comprehensive booklet. I'm keeping the group small, only 6 mums/dads and babies so that the sessions can be tailored to the babies in the group. If you are interested please call me for more info on 07588 820 409. Cassie
