No problem as long as water enters the ears in the baby.

Consult your doctor as such home aid can risk life. Doctor' s advice will sure make your baby feel good and healthy.

hey sweety, wats going on. why you look panic.
ne oil application/grease on baby head attracts more dirt,,causing stuffy nose ! check my post on stuffy nose problems and possibilities to ssavya,here is the link,,see if ne of thesee applies to you.
about cough,once a while is fine,,baby at 2mnths old have alot of saliva in their mouth,,because they dont know wat to do, they chhoke....and then cough..now my worry is what kind of cough is it ! dry or wet,,or does he cough very often ???
and about sleeping hours, its fine dear, babies do sleep that much,,but does he sleep for continuous 14 hours,,,if so then only m worried.one of the reason is because of stuffy nose your baby must not be getting enough sleep, which results in chick sleep and not a deep sleep..and this makes him sleep for longer hours in order to try to get a good sleep and rest.
check my post on stuffy nose and see if something out of it applies to you.

Thanks a load for all those supports .
Please help me put.

i respect you are very caring and being new to motherhood, sometimes it happens that we get panic..but relax. your baby is FINE :)
he is not sleeping continuous so m not worried..its fine for babies to sleep more or lesss depending on how much rest their body needs.
cough 3-4times in every half an hour needs a mild medication of cough suppresent. its nothing to worry about,,sometimes babies get that.

if this worsens your baby will get worst. check for a day or so. if you are in US; you need Cough, Chest congestion medication: Cough Suppressant/Expectorant..will be written on the bottle of the medicine..go the infant medicine and get one for your infant. CONSULT YOUR DR THAT YOU WANT TO GIVE THIS AND IF IT IS OK.

babies as old as 2months are avoided to give nething unless dr really sees the need of it.so i too will suggest you to ask your dr about the level of cough & its seriousness.

because i cant examine your baby or see him coughing or check his breathing sound, so i cant say how serious it sounds..so let your dr be the best judge.if your dr has not given nething, I WILL NOT SUGGEST YOU NETHING,otherwise, you are his mother, you know upto wat level you can stay calm seeing your baby coughing,,and wat is his safety levels..so go by your gut feeling and if you think its causing alot of impact on his health, and you can see the difference, in his ddaily activity, ask your dr for any brand of over the counter medication that you can give to your 2months old.

If your child has a wet, productive cough that is interfering with sleep or daily activity but does not have a bothersome runny nose or sinus congestion, I recommend a cough suppressant and expectorant combination. It is okay to use a cough suppressant alone if that is all is going on with your baby.

also note that generally all these medications are for 6MONTHS and UP and NOT BEFORE THAT, UNTIL YOUR DR ADVICES YOU TO GIVE IT.so ask your dr.
one home remedy for wet cough for infants, apply vicks babyrub after bath and every 4-5hours, a gentle rub with lil qty on his chest,behind the chest and his feet,,and a light touch on his throat., and wrap your baby nicely after that so that the vapours of vicks releases/THINS OUT all his mucus..and he will probably gulp it and it will comeout of his bowels..babies at 2months dont know how to remove cough sometimes they need a lil pat on their back to help them get relieved from cough,,so that whenever you feel they are struggling with cough stucked in throat.

one famous homeremedy,,,put a hot pan on the stove,throw in handful ajwain seeds and let the seeds roasts until they pop and release its aroma. let that aroma be taken by your baby from the corner of kitchen or just outside the kitchenn only. DONT LET YOUR BABY BE CLOSE TO STOVE...THE AROMA IS STRONG ENOUGH TO ENTER ALL ROOMS...it will help ! once the seeds pop just shut off the stove and let the aroma do its work.

it will release all his cough and is very trusted and effective way to get relieved from cough.also this practise is also called air-filter technique with herbs in ayurveda and used when most members of family suffer from stuffy nose and wet coughs,,and the virus/allergens stay inside the house due to continuous cough, making the air you breathe unhygenic & sometimes because of this medinces dont work,,this aroma and the released oil from these seeds are said to clean the air and refresh them !!!
thats y in many villages in India and in native america(oregano), these kind of herbs are burnt and its light smoke or if in house, then aroma,,,is passed thru all the rooms before the monsoon and winter season to prevent seasonal allergens.
so good luck and dont worry much..you have a lovely child.njoy.

Thank you hetal for your prompt and kind reply.My son is having discomfort due to wet cough .what you said is true its coz of stuffed nose he's not getting a sound sleep.
cough is like 3 or 4 times at an interval of half an hour.Is it too much?My parents are saying it will go by itself.Will it go by itself?AM so tensed.They are saying taking cough medicines will upset baby's digestive system is it true?if it wont go by itself what will i do?
Am so much tensed thinking about his cough.Poor lil thing he infact reduced due to this.Everyday there will be something that'll be hurting him.Am praying everyday for his health.Am thankful to god for giving me a healthy child.Doc told i should be thankful to god instead of complaining.Am not complaining but am so much worried for him.
I did something wrong by putting oil isn't it?
His sleep is not 14 hrs continous 2 hours interval and 6 hrs continous in night is it normal?before he used to sleep at an interval of 4 hrs but now after 1 or 2 hours he gets up and calls me.
That message was really useful.Thanks a load hetal.
