Is Sneezing normal?!

[tintin_fj]

My baby who's 1 month old sneezes frequently and sometimes coughs. Her temperature is normal and she doesn't show irritability. Is that normal? Her pediatrician checked her and said she's perfectly fine. Im worried that the coughs and sneezes will later develop to allergies or asthma. Is there anyone with the same experience? What did you do? Please help me because Im a first time mom.

Relax, this is perfectly normal. It would be something to worry about if she wasn't sneezing. Babies aren't born with nose hair to help filter out all the dust and such that we inhale all day. Sneezing is their way of clearing out. Also, many small babies are congested. This could be where the coughing is coming from. If your ped says not to worry then I'm sure your little one is just fine.
