Coughing keeps LO up

[cko521]

LO has had a dry cough all winter. Doc said she's breathing fine, no illness just dry air and getting over colds. But the cough keeps her up/wakes her up. I've tried a couple meds but there's not much safe for 6 months and nothing seemed to help. We run a vaporizer. Anything else I can try to help her out?

Have you tried a humidifier in her room? If she's coughing from drainage, you could also try putting a pillow under her crib matress to have her at a slight incline?

Hopefully some of the others will have some more creative suggestions

I'd definitely try elevating the head side of her mattress!

Does she sleep on her side? When DD had a cough we put her on her side (pediatrician approved). It helped a ton.
