POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. If your baby's nose is blocked, it can make it difficult for them to breathe comfortably, especially while feeding or sleeping. Here are some steps you can take to help relieve the blockage:
Saline Nasal Drops: You can use saline nasal drops specifically designed for babies. These help loosen the mucus and make it easier to clear the nose.
Nasal Aspirator: After using saline drops, you can use a baby-safe nasal aspirator (suction bulb) to gently remove the mucus from your baby’s nose. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
Humidifier: Place a cool-mist humidifier in the room to keep the air moist. This can help loosen the mucus and make it easier for your baby to breathe.
Steam Bath: You can also run a hot shower and allow the bathroom to fill with steam. Sit with your baby in the bathroom for a few minutes to help loosen the congestion.
Elevate the Head: While sleeping, you can try slightly elevating your baby’s head by placing a small pillow or towel under the mattress. This can help with nasal drainage.
Keep Your Baby Hydrated: Ensure your baby is drinking enough fluids (breast milk or formula) to stay hydrated, as this can help thin the mucus.
If the nasal congestion lasts for several days or is accompanied by fever, difficulty breathing, or other symptoms, it’s best to consult your pediatrician for further guidance.
