7 week old with cold - throwing up feeds

dd2 has a bad cold (dd1 has had it too), she is 7 weeks tomorrow; gaining weight well, breastfed. She's no temperature, is feeding ok, but has thrown up 3 times in the last 12 hours...she is alert. I assume this is just mucous/cough triggering her gag reflex. Her breathing is OK too. No need to worry? Just keep feeding her to ensure that she is at least well hydrated.

TIA

Sounds like your doing the right thing, keep an eye on her breathing and watch for signs of dehydration (make sure she has wet nappies) and if in doubt don't hesitate to get medical advice
