Stuffy nose

[Tarobinc]

Just wanted to share that Sophia has has a stuffy nose lately.  No fever, no signs of a cold. The nurse at the office told us we could use infant saline drops and then use the nose aspirator to clear it out. We also tilted her mattress up(placed a thin pillow under her crib mattress) to help her breath better at night. The nurse said this was fine to do.

All of this was done after I checked with the pediatrican of course. She is doing much better and her feeding is better now, too, since she can breath while she eats!

The crazy thing is she moves around more in her crib now that it's inclined!  We find her either more to one side of down a bit in the crib.  There is barely an incline!  It makes me a little nervous but she is going to move regardless!

Thanks for letting me know you had the small stuffy noses with your little ones!

We had the same problem as well. We used the saline drops and got a humidifyer. We haven't tried putting him to sleep in the upright position.

We have the same problem and our pedi said that it is just a newborn conjestion due to dust, pollin, etc.  We got the same advice: put her to sleep in the upright position, saline drops (have not tried this one yet) and humidifyer.
