POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Steam inhalation is generally not recommended for babies under the age of two months. Their airways are delicate and still developing, so exposing them to steam could potentially cause more harm than good. Additionally, babies at this age are more susceptible to overheating.
If your baby is experiencing congestion or respiratory issues, it's best to consult with a pediatrician for appropriate treatment options. They may recommend using a humidifier in the baby's room to help moisten the air and ease congestion or other safe methods of relieving discomfort.
For babies older than two months, steam inhalation can be used cautiously and sparingly, under the guidance of a pediatrician. It's essential to ensure that the steam is not too hot and to monitor the baby closely during the process to prevent burns or discomfort. Generally, one session of steam inhalation per day for a few minutes may be sufficient, but it's best to follow your pediatrician's recommendations for your baby's specific situation.
