A. Expressed breast milk, when stored and thawed properly, does not directly cause a cold or stuffy nose in babies. However, if the milk is too cold when given, it might cause temporary nasal congestion or discomfort. To avoid this, always warm the milk to body temperature (around 37°C or 98.6°F) before feeding. You can do this by placing the bottle in warm water for a few minutes. If your baby frequently has a stuffy nose, other factors like dry air, allergies, or mild infections could be the cause. Using a humidifier, saline drops, or ensuring the milk is warmed properly can help ease congestion. If the issue persists, consult a pediatrician.
