When infants have coughing fits, they frequently can have little spells where it looks like they stop breathing. Typically this becomes less frequent as they get older. One of the best and easiest remedies you can use for coughing in infants is to use a bulb suction device when they have a cold or runny nose. I would try one of these if you have not already.
