What are your thoughts? could water help the baby cold and congestion?

Not necessarily: Supplemental water has no direct effect on infants tolerance of cold symptoms. Their basic feeds of breast milk or formula should provide the proper blend of nutrients as needed.Nasal saline wash will often thin down nasal secretions and help them rest.
