Question
How to deal with baby nasal congestion caused by nasal mucus?
Answer
When a baby’s congestion is caused by nasal mucus, you can attempt to drop a small amount of breast milk into the baby’s nostrils to moisten the nasal passages. Then, gently push on the sides of the baby’s nostrils with your hand to help expel the mucus. If the mucus still cannot be removed, you can use a small cotton swab to gently rotate in the nostril to remove the mucus. Be careful during the operation to avoid harming the baby.
