Has anyone noticed that breast milk helps in curing babies' cough and colds? I've observed this on my baby few times, she had cough and colds, my wife will just let her latch as long as she wants and after couple of days, the cough and colds are gone without giving any medicines to our baby. Has anyone observed this as well?

I personally do the same. Whenever my kids have cough and colds, I just let them latch as long as they want and do skin-to-skin as per advised by some lactation experts. And yes, it really cures them because they acquire the antibodies they get from the mom's milk.
