    My 2 months old baby is suffering from severe cold. I can hear his wheezing sound and his nose gets stuffed especially after his sleep. He also has dry cough and sneezes a lot. He gets choked very often when he drinks. It is hot here but windy. Please advise me as to what humidifier i should buy so that he doesn't suffer from dryness.........

    I think Vicks has a humidifier. Dont put any Vicks in it though - just plain water. And keep your baby upright while sleeping (car seat/pillows under the shoulders). You can also use a nasal aspirator to get the mucus out. And use the saline drops a few mins before feeding so that he can feed easily. Hope he gets better soon.

    PS - Try and give as much breastmilk as possible. It contains the antibodies which will help the infection clear faster.

    Blossom, we use a brand called Reli On (bought it from WalMart). Are you in Chennai or in US?
