POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. 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).
