1. Use Saline Drops (Most Effective)
✅ Put 2-3 drops of saline (nasal) drops in each nostril to loosen the dryness.
✅ Wait for a minute, then gently wipe with a soft cloth or cotton.
✅ You can use a nasal aspirator to remove mucus if needed.
2. Steam Therapy (Mild)
✅ Take your baby into a steamy bathroom (run hot water in a bucket and sit nearby for a few minutes).
✅ Do not bring the baby too close to hot steam.
3. Keep the Air Moist
✅ Use a humidifier in the baby’s room to prevent dryness.
✅ Place a bowl of water near the baby's bed to maintain humidity.
4. Breastfeed More
✅ Breastfeeding helps keep mucus thin and provides antibodies for faster recovery.
5. Keep Baby's Head Elevated
✅ Hold baby in an upright position while feeding.
✅ Use a slightly elevated pillow under the mattress for better breathing.
