A. To help relieve a blocked nose in your baby, especially if they are congested or having difficulty breathing, here are some safe methods: Saline Nasal Drops: Use saline drops specifically designed for babies to loosen the mucus in the nose. You can use a saline spray or drops a few times a day, following the instructions on the product. Nasal Aspirator: After using saline drops, you can gently use a bulb syringe or nasal aspirator to suck out the mucus. Be gentle to avoid hurting your baby. Humidifier: Place a cool-mist humidifier in the room where your baby sleeps. This helps add moisture to the air, which can soothe the nasal passages and make it easier to breathe. Elevate Baby’s Head: Slightly elevate the head of your baby’s crib (by placing a rolled towel under the mattress) to help with drainage and reduce congestion while they sleep. Steam Inhalation: Run a warm shower to create steam and let your baby breathe in the moist air for a few minutes. Keep the bathroom door closed to trap the steam. Gentle Rubbing: Sometimes gently massaging your baby’s chest or back can help ease congestion and make them feel more comfortable. Breastfeeding: If you are breastfeeding, it can help clear the nasal passages as breast milk contains antibodies that support the baby’s immune system. If the blockage persists or is accompanied by a fever, difficulty breathing, or unusual irritability, it’s important to consult a pediatrician for further guidance.
