Baby has a stuffy nose? It's not that serious.
But you have to unclog it quickly to prevent it from causing an ear infection.
Fortunately, there is an effective trick to unclog a baby's or newborn's nose naturally.
This technique was recommended to me by my children's pediatrician.
The trick is to use saline to unclog your nose . Watch how:
1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
2. Open two single-use saline pipettes and prepare a handkerchief.
3. Lay baby on side.
4. With one hand, gently hold baby's head.
5. With the other hand, carefully insert the tip of the serum pipette into the upper nostril.
6. Firmly press the pipette to expel the liquid into the baby's nostril.
7. With the handkerchief, wipe the liquid that comes out of the lower nostril.
8. Flip baby to the other side.
9. Do the same with the second pipette in the other nostril.
And there you have it, you have easily and effectively unblocked baby's nose :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
No more risk of your baby developing an ear infection!
And with this treatment, his cold is cured after 2 or 3 days.
Remember to repeat this gesture 3 to 4 times a day, as long as the baby has a cold.
No need to resort to ineffective or dangerous drugs!
And it works whether your baby is 1 week, 15 days, 1 month or...much more.
Don't be surprised if your little one starts screaming.
Babies and newborns hate being snuffed!
But once their nose is clear, they can breathe freely, their sleep is more peaceful and they can suckle more easily.
Unblocking baby's nose helps evacuate mucus that stagnates in the nose and throat of babies with colds.
Thus, they do not remain in the eustachian tubes. By eliminating them, the risk of infection is reduced and prevents a simple cold from degenerating into otitis.
If you are looking for saline, you can find it here on the internet.
It is also possible to use saline spray, provided that the tip is suitable for the nose of infants.
You can use a manual nose blower, or if you prefer an electric nose blower.
Know that if your child is old enough to blow his nose on his own, you do not need to resort to a nose blower.
If your baby's cold persists after 2 or 3 days or if your baby is particularly tired or has a fever, see your doctor immediately.
