Stuffy Nose Season: How to Help Your Baby Breathe Easier
Share
Fall and winter bring stuffy noses, and babies can't blow their own. A blocked nose can make feeding and sleeping harder for them and for you. These simple steps can help.
1. Use saline drops
Saline drops help loosen mucus so it's easier to clear. Ask your pediatrician how to use them for your baby's age.
2. Run a cool-mist humidifier
Moist air can help your baby feel more comfortable, especially at night. Clean it often.
3. Keep baby hydrated
Keep up regular feeds. Fluids help thin mucus.
4. Clear the nose gently
Clearing the nose before feeds and sleep can make both easier. The hard part is doing it without seeing what you're doing.
Our Electric Baby Nasal Aspirator with Camera takes the guesswork out:
- Built-in camera streams to a free app, so you can see what you're clearing
- Multiple suction levels to suit age and congestion
- Less stress for you and your baby
When to call the doctor
Contact your pediatrician if your baby has trouble breathing, a fever, isn't feeding well, or seems unwell. This guide isn't medical advice.
