Very stuffy nose!!

I find using saline regularly throughout the day, rather than just when needed, helps congestion be more manageable overall and lets mucus come out on its own a bit more too! Just cautious with the sucker as using it too often can make the inside of the nose swell and make congestion worse!

If congestion is stopping them from eating though contact the gp as they might be able to use hospital grade suckers!

I hate when they're ongested poor bubs, hope your LO feels better soon x

We do the nasal sucker and saline. Baby vapour rub for bed time on chest and feed. Baby olbus oil on a teddy nesr his next to me throughout the night and we put the humidifier on with a few drops of olbus oil in with the water to help. Has worked for us! X

Calpol do a vapour plug in and it works wonders! Pop it on half an hour before they go to bed as well as keeping up with the saline spray, sterimar baby is really good as it has a bit more pressure when spraying x
