I took my son a & e yesterday due to him vomiting a lot and all his blood tests and urine tests come back normal which is brilliant however I've woke up this morning and it sounds like he has a cold or coming down with one, he is only one week old I didn't think they could get a cold this age due to having some immunity from the mother... First baby, I am so worried, any tips on colds in newborns? I have a humidifer would that work?

Any tips needed. Thank you

If he's stuffy an sounds blocked up try and get some if Calpols Saline Nasal Spray. You can use it from birth an it always helped to dislodge any gunk an help mine breath a bit clearer after using it.

My little girl had one first week home from hospital, I used the sterimar baby saline nasal spray (it has a tiny tip so is easy to insert in the nostril) and the bulb aspirator that sucks anything out. I found when I used the nasal spray she would sneeze and it would all come out easily. You can use a humidifier to loosen anything in the airways too. And give lots of cuddles because colds are miserable any age!
