A. Nasal congestion in a 45-day-old baby can make breathing difficult and disturb sleep. Since newborns mostly breathe through their nose, even mild congestion can be uncomfortable. ✅ Home Remedies for Relief 1️⃣ Saline Drops – Put 1-2 drops of saline (nasal) drops in each nostril to loosen mucus. Wait a few minutes and gently remove it with a soft tissue or suction bulb. 2️⃣ Use a Humidifier – A cool-mist humidifier in the room helps keep the air moist and prevents nasal dryness. 3️⃣ Elevate the Head Slightly – Keep the baby's head slightly elevated while sleeping by placing a folded towel under the mattress (never use a pillow directly). 4️⃣ Steam Therapy – Sit in a steamy bathroom with the baby for a few minutes to ease congestion (do not expose the baby to direct steam). 5️⃣ Breastfeeding More Often – Breast milk provides antibodies and helps keep mucus thin. 🚨 When to See a Doctor? ❌ Baby is breathing very fast or struggling to breathe. ❌ Lips or face turn blue. ❌ Baby is not feeding well. ❌ Nasal congestion lasts more than 10 days. ❌ High fever (above 100.4°F in newborns). Try these remedies, and let me know if you need more help!
