Stuffy nose for 2+ weeks

My baby boy has a stuffy nose for 2+ weeks. Doctors said to use saline & suction it out. We have been doing this for so long now & he is not getting better. Is this normal? We are scared to even bring him out to see the world.

Yes, my baby has had stuffy nose for a while. It will get better. Just keep cleaning them multiple times a day.

What I did was steam up the bathroom and sit there for about 5 minutes at a time, I found that it helped out

My baby girl has been having congestion also and we’re on the same boat saline and suction!

I started putting Zarbees vaporub on her feet… I rub it into my my hands warm it up with my hands and then put it on her little feet and top it off with socks and then swaddle her I have noticed some of a difference.

My LO is only a month old. I don’t think I can use vaporub on him just yet…

I was dealing with the same thing what helped was the humidifier and the frida nose sucker. Hope this helps

My baby is currently 3 1/2 weeks old, and she's been congested for over a week now. Her congestion was really bad the 1st few days, but it's definitely gotten better with time. I took her to her pediatrician, and she seems to have a virus, so nothing we can do but let it run its course. The only thing I have been able to do for her is just keep her as comfortable as possible by suctioning her nose with saline spray. I also found that giving her warm baths has helped clear things up and soothe her!

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
