Not much that can done. Maybe a steamy bathroom or steam might help of course not too hot and will burn baby! There are these nasal suckers available but honestly never worked with my daughter

Yeah I am using them they do not really work.

I don't know what to do any more. Someone suggested Vicks for babies but I'm not sure if I should buy it.

The nasal sucker we had worked great it was one you hade to physically suck yourself but gross but definitely worth it. Also we put cushions under the mattress of our sons crib so he wasn’t flat on his back that worked well too.

A hot water bottle on the chest to increase local heat and help it fight off the mucous. Water not as hot as for adults.

Make sure baby's nose is always warm as in not cold or different temperature from the rest of the body.

An old lady told me and my kids never had a cold until 3 or 4 yrs of age. Neither were they overheated or sweaty.

My daughter had mucous for other reasons and I know how terribly annoying it can be. Sleep helps as the nose clears after some time falling asleep...if it can manage this.

Is it because she's under the weather or had she always been like this? Do you breastfed? Babies who have cows milk or lactose intolerance can have such reaction as blocked nose, bronchitis, asthma like symptoms.

Good luck in figuring this out and helping your babe!x

She is a breastfeed baby. Aparently it's quite normal for them to have mucus. GP checked her twice already and have found no signs of infection and been told is quite normal.

Today I used the hot water bottle as well as calpol vaporiser and so far so good. Have no need of nasal spray or the nasal aspiratiors. Will check the one you recommended tomorrow.

Thanks for your replay X
