Hello. It is not advisable to give anything other than breastmilk (or if giving formula milk for any reason ) until 6 months of age.
Exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months is the recommendation.
If cough is of concern kindly visit a Pediatrician.

Please don’t give jaws in water. Or no water.
You can breast feed the baby . That is enough for cough.
If cough persists consult doctor
