How To Effectively Unclog Baby's Nose To Avoid Ear infections.
Baby got a stuffy nose? It's not that serious.
But it must be unblocked quickly to prevent it from causing an ear infection.
Fortunately, there is an effective trick to unblocking a baby's or newborn's nose naturally.
It was my children's pediatrician who recommended this technique to me.
The trick is to use physiological serum to unblock your nose. See how to do it:
How to do
1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
2. Open two disposable physiological saline pipettes and prepare a tissue.
3. Lay baby on his 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. Press firmly on the pipette to expel the liquid into baby's nostril.
7. With the tissue, wipe off the liquid that comes out of the lower nostril.
8. Turn baby over to the other side.
9. Do the same with the second pipette in the other nostril.
Results
And there you have it, you have unblocked baby's nose easily and efficiently :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, isn't it?
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 infant is 1 week, 15 days, 1 month or ... much older.
Don't be surprised if your toddler starts screaming. Babies and newborns hate being blown their nose.
But once the nose is unblocked, they can breathe freely, their sleep is more peaceful, and they can suck more easily.
Why does it work?
Unblocking baby's nose helps to evacuate the phlegm that stagnates in the nose and throat of babies with colds.
Thus, they do not stay in the eustachian tubes. By eliminating them, we reduce the risk of infection and prevent a simple cold from degenerating into otitis.
If you are looking for physiological saline, you can find it here on the internet.
It is also possible to use physiological saline spray, provided that the tip is suitable for the nose of infants.
You can use a manual nose fly, or if you prefer an electric nose fly.
Note that if your child is old enough to blow their nose on their own, you don't need to use a nose fly.
Precautions
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.
