Sick baby

I think my baby is sick. He’s very stuffy & congested. It’s hard to feed him as his nose is stuffy. What can I do to help him?

my 4mo just got over some sort of cold. as it relates to the feeding issue, doctor recommended feeding from a bottle than my breast bc it’s easier for them when congested. i also used saline drops & the nose frida nose sucker. lots of hydration and rest. hoping baby feels better soon. hang in there mama

Saline spray for babies and Frida mom nose sucker. Warm steamy baths helps too :) hope baby feels better soon!

Yes, What Tamara ^ said

The nose frida is great! But if it grosses you out, you can use the nose bulb like they use in the hospital

Thankyou so much for your comments ladies. I ended up getting him up at 4am cos he was really struggling to breathe. We just did a hot steamy shower (stood in the bathroom) then used a bulb. He managed to finally have a full feed & he’s back in bed now breathing perfectly with a humidifier on next to his bed. I’ll keep repeating these things throughout the day and hopefully we can rid it asap! Xx

Sleeping on a wedge pillow has helped my little one sleep when congested. We like this one https://www.amazon.com/Sweeterbaby-Pregnancy-Incline-Removeable-inches/dp/B07JJW31R3?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=AOHYJHE3R630A
