Poor chesty baby

My little man is 5.5 months old and has had a cold last week. He is absolutely fine in himself but his chest is very rattley. You can feel it is his back when he breathes. He's been to the doctor's and apparently his chest is clear (I was worried about bronchiolitis) and just have to wait it out.

It really affects his morning bottle. I'm assuming it's because he has been laid down all night.

Any tips of how I can make it easier for him to drink on a morning?

I've tried having him sat up for a bit first, it's always a good half an hour after he's woken up. He's always really steady at the minute with his first one like it tires him out. This morning he managed 4.5oz rather than his usual 8oz 😩
