ExpertSHRUTI KANCHANLactation Educator and Counselor2 years agoA. Saline nasal drops are commonly used for newborns to help clear their congested nasal passages if they have a cold or stuffy nose. However, there are a few things you can do to help reduce your newborn's nose blockage problem:
1. Use a humidifier: Keeping the air moist with a humidifier in the room where your baby sleeps can help prevent their nasal passages from drying out and becoming blocked.
2. Elevate your baby's head while sleeping: Lifting the head of your baby's crib or bassinet with a pillow or blanket can help relieve some nasal congestion.
3. Suction your baby's nose: Using a nasal aspirator or suction bulb can help clear mucus from your baby's nose. Before using it, you can moisten the nostrils with saline drops to help loosen the mucus.
4. Avoid irritants: Avoid exposing your baby to irritants like cigarette smoke, perfumes, or other strong odors that can irritate their nasal passages.
In terms of the reason for the nose blockage, it can be due to a range of reasons, such as allergies, a common cold, or even dry air. In some cases, it can also be due to a structural issue in the nose, such as a deviated septum. It is always best to consult with your pediatrician if you are concerned about your baby's nasal congestion or if it persists for an extended period of time.
