Steam up the bathroom (run the shower or the bath very hot and close all doors and windows. Bring baby in and just let him breath the steam, it's supposed to loosen the mucous on the lungs.

driving round at 12 oclock at night with all the windows down in the middle of winter, did the trick though and got some sleep afterwards.
