Default How can I keep my infants nose from getting clogged at night? - 12-28-2008, 11:52 PM

The last two nights when I am nursing her, it is so hard for her to breathe because her nose is clogged up. I end up having to use a bulb syringe to clear her nose. She isn't sick, and her nose is never runny. This clogging problem only happens at night. I notice that my nose also gets stuffy during the night too. So what is the problem. Do you have any advice to keep her nose from getting stuffed.

Try expressing a few drops of breastmilk and put it in her nose (really, it'll clear it up). You can also try elevating the end of the bed where her head is just a little bit to help with drainage.The stuffyness probably happens at night because when we lie down it allows the mucus etc to settle into our noses. She may have a slight cold that just gets worse at night.

You could try using an electric vapouriser in the room.You can also use a saline soloution (salt water) to put in her nose...you can buy special infant ones from the pharmacy.

A cool mist humidifier on high will do the trick.
