3 month old with a cold

[SoldiersWifey]

As the title says, my little (almost) 3 month old has come down with a cold from her older brother. He didn't get sick for the first time until he was near 8 months old, so I wasn't so nervous.
Are there any natural remedies that you girls have used to help ease the discomfort of her cold? Poor little thing has got the stuffiest, yuckiest nose and it's causing her to cough and obviously is making feeds and sleeping difficult.
I've sat with her in a steamy bathroom, put a cool mist humidifier in our room, but nothing's really helping too much.
I know she'll just have to ride it out, but I thought it couldn't hurt to get some opinions of something that might help...?

Thanks!

You can prop the head of her bed up which should make it a bit easier for her to breath (we used phone books). And no this isn't a natural remedy but we've found the Vicks plug in vaporizers work wonders when Hannah has a stuffy nose

hope she feels better soon
