DD is 7 months old she is very happy smiling and taking feeds and eating some solids.
However over the past few days I have noticed she is a bit chesty first thing and has a bit of a chesty cough last thing at night.
It dosen't even seem to bother her just looking for ideas as to what could be causing it?

It could be an allergy or it could just be the last dregs of a virus.

If she's still got it on Monday, maybe you could pop her to the GP just to check her over.

If she starts having problems breathing - she goes very pale or the soft, fleshy parts at the bottom of her throat or between her ribs look as thought they're 'straining' when she breathes, call 999.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Let us know how she is!

Ok thankyou pixie she is very very well TBH.
I just overly worry becaue of previous problems with her big sister and bronchiolitis but she has no signs of any distress or illness.
It is just the cough that is a bit of a worry I will take her to see the GP on Monday.
Thsnks again.
