### **1. **Saline Nasal Drops**
- **Usage**: Use saline nasal drops to help clear nasal passages. Follow the instructions on the product or consult your pediatrician for the correct dosage.
### **2. **Nasal Suction**
- **Bulb Syringe**: Use a bulb syringe to gently remove mucus from the baby’s nose. Squeeze the bulb before inserting it into the nostril, then release to suction out the mucus.
### **3. **Humidifier**
- **Moisture**: Use a cool-mist humidifier in the baby's room to keep the air moist and help alleviate congestion.
### **4. **Elevate the Head**
- **Sleeping Position**: Slightly elevate the baby’s head while they sleep to help with nasal drainage. Ensure the baby’s head is elevated safely by placing a rolled towel under the mattress.
### **5. **Keep the Environment Clean**
- **Avoid Irritants**: Ensure the baby’s environment is free from smoke, strong odors, and allergens that could worsen congestion.
### **6. **Consult a Pediatrician**
- **Medical Advice**: If the congestion persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms like a fever or difficulty breathing, consult your pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.
These methods can help relieve nasal congestion and make your baby more comfortable.
