Choosing the best baby cold remedies can make a difference when your baby is unwell.
While there isn’t a cure for the common cold, there are some things you can do to help keep your baby comfortable – like using a humidifier or saline nasal drops.
The Tell Me Baby community has rated the best baby cold remedies they’ve tried and shared their opinions on what has, or hasn’t, worked for them. Read all the baby cold remedy reviews or alternatively, we’ve got baby cold remedy comparisons.
As always, we recommend you take the advice of your GP or another health professional when choosing a baby cold remedy.
A popular choice by many of our Tell Me Baby parents, Flo Baby Saline Nasal Spray helps to clear a baby’s congested nose when they have a cold, and it’s free from preservatives, medication, alcohol, and buffering chemicals. Reviewers especially love the cleverly designed bottle, which makes it really easy to administer. One mum said: “There is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing your child suffer from a blocked nose. This is easy to use and makes breathing so much easier.”

Another great option. Flo Baby Saline Nasal Drops are the same formula as the spray but drops. One Tell Me Baby reviewer said one pump produced exactly one drop. Another said she chose the drops over the spray “purely because I didn’t feel 100% comfortable spraying up my bub’s nose, and she takes the drops really well.”

Infants’ Friend Oral Liquid is a natural medicine that could help relieve wind and colic in babies, as well as restlessness and irritation when teething. One Tell Me Baby reviewer said: “This product was highly recommended to me by several people to help when babies aren’t settled. It is a nice alternative to your typical medications, and as it is more natural, I don’t feel as bad about giving it to my daughter.”

Helping to clear the nasal passages and clear mucus associated with your baby’s cold symptoms, Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer is a “great” choice, according to many TMB parents. Others said the only downside is that it can be hard to clean. “We’ve had one of these for years for stubborn colds! Not only is it useful for us but also useful for baby. I remember growing up with one of these, and they are miracle workers,” said a reviewer.
