Babies under 4 months old can only breathe through their noses, so when they get congested it can be hard for them to nurse. Here are some ways to help a stuffed-up infant breathe easier.
Step 1: Cradle baby
Cradle your baby in the crook of your arm, or lay her down on a changing table or some other safe spot.
Step 2: Squeeze saline
Gently tip her head back and squeeze a few saline drops into each nostril. Wait a minute or two to let the drops loosen the mucus clogging her breathing passages.
Tip
You can make your own saline drops by dissolving one teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water—but never give your baby any kind of medicated nose drops.
Step 3: Suck out mucus
Now use the bulb syringe to suck out the mucus. Squeeze the bulb flat, hold it just inside your baby’s nostril, and slowly release it.
Tip
Sometimes a baby will make your job easier by sneezing out the mucous after the drops are put in her nose. Just gently wipe it away—no bulb syringe necessary.
Step 4: Use washcloth
Use the washcloth to wipe away any nose drops that dribble out, as well as any mucus that escapes the syringe.
Step 5: Dab on jelly
If the skin around your baby’s nose is red, dab a little petroleum jelly on it to relieve the irritation.
Tip
If your baby’s having trouble nursing because she’s so congested, use the saline drops and bulb syringe about 15 minutes before she’s due to eat.
Step 6: Sit with shower running
Your baby may also benefit from steam. Sit with her in the bathroom with the shower running full blast on hot and the door closed for about 15 minutes.
Tip
Giving your baby a warm bath using baby-safe products with a menthol scent may also help.
Step 7: Run vaporizer
At naptime and bedtime, run a cool-mist vaporizer in her room to keep the air moist.
Step 8: Place towels under mattress
To help ease congestion while she sleeps, slip a few rolled up towels under the end of her mattress where her head will be. Don’t tilt or prop the crib itself.
Step 9: Increase fluids
Increase the amount of fluid your baby takes in, by nursing or bottle-feeding her more often than usual.
Step 10: Look for signs
Throughout the day, keep an eye out for signs that she may have something worse than a cold, such as high fever, no interest in eating, or lethargy—especially if she’s under 3 months. Otherwise, keeping her nose as clear as possible and offering lots of cuddles should help her feel better in no time.
Did You Know?
Children catch as many as 6 to 10 colds a year; grown-ups usually get only 2 or 3.

As soon as I started applying this nasal polyps treatment “Vοzαnzο Tvο” (Google it), I started sleeping much better and tasting better as well. It took almost Three weeks for her polyps to be gone for good, but it has been worthwhile and I believe that this system is worth its weight in gold! This is the best risk I got, and it absolutely change how I thought my life would turn out! .

I can’t believe that baby is around 9 years old now. And I was 6 when this was made.
Right after right after this treatment solution for nasal polyps “Vοzαnzο Tvο” (Google it), I came to be better. My right polyp is certainly smaller and I could breathe through my nose for the very first time in months. I am aiming to become free of polyps in the future! .
NOTE : be sure to squeeze the bulb syringe BEFORE inserting in the babies nose 👃
I`ve used this nasal polyps treatment method wonder “Vοzαnzο Tvο” (Google it) two days ago and I can already see a big difference. My right polyp is certainly small and I could breathe through my nose for the first time in a few months. I am looking to become free from polyps in the future! .

The information in this video is outdated and some of it is just dangerous! Definitely ask your dr and not this video….Using just plain tap water and salt as a saline solution is dangerous! Petroleum jelly should not be used in nose due to it causing pneumonia. Howcast- please update this video. Safer information can be found online. This video is incorrect.
or u can just have them smell pepper and make them sneeze
that baby so cute
That baby is adorable! ❤
'cold be gone kids tea" by secretsoftea is mended with herbs that heal common colds and cough in babies, this tea also helps relieving stuffy nose
Beautiful video. This really helped my baby and me a lot 🙂
Mm
Really? U need all of that to unstuff a nose? Lol I just want to know how to use the nose suction device thingy. New mom stuff
I’m offended that you’re using a baby girl and referring to it as a her why isn’t that baby gender neutral? This is so sexist and beyond offensive.
Awwwww so cute baby
I don't even have a baby why am I watching this.
WOW..EXCELLENT..THANK YOU VERY MUCH
That baby so freaking cute!!!!!
this won't hurt my son will it he's so stuffy
Favorite video
That's the best baby
Cant explain how cute u r
The tip about elevating the crib mattress helped alot alot..thank you now i can sleep for now Lol
I swear the differing in opinions on baby stuff drives me nuts. Our Pediatrician told us not never prop a crib mattress like this video shows and to tilt the crib with a book or two under one side. He said the angle by tilting the mattress could cause a baby to suffocate.
I
lol just vape in its face
lol i just came from a vape video and this appeared :/

for dry and stuffed nose, fry some fenugreek and ajwain seeds without oil. powder it . make a thick paste of powdered fenugreek, ajwain and mustard oil. warm it and apply on infants head, spread over that soft spot I dont know what that's called. after applying keep baby's head warm under sunlight or heater. This worked for my baby when no other remedies did.
