Although nasal congestion is just an annoyance for most older children and adults, it can be serious in infants. Babies who are congested in the first months of life have trouble nursing and can experience breathing problems. If your child is younger than 3 months, call your doctor at the first sign of illness.
Here are a few methods:
1. Just turn on the shower to hot and let the steam build up and sit in the bathroom for ten minutes if you need you could stay longer. It works just like a humidifier just like times ten it helps loosen the mucus to where your baby can breathe easier.
2. Use saline drops in the nose. Most of the saline nose sprays are safe for any age. Just make sure to read on the label.
3. Humidifier, I can stress enough it is healthy for everyone in the house it cleanses the air you breath. The dust in the air could allergic reaction with the baby and try to wash as much fabric in you house as possible to remove dust, dander, and etc (bedding, throw blankets, stuffed animals, curtains, etc)
4. Herbs eucalyptus and lemon scents help decongest the baby you can buy it to put in a warm bath it helps relax the baby and calms their nerves.
5. Get some baby Vicks rub. Put it on the bottom of the baby's feet and on its back and chest. Be sure to put socks and warm clothes on. The Vicks will open up the baby's pores so be sure to wash it off before going outside.
