Baby cold/snuffly nose question

[poppy]

Tristan seems to have a bit of a blocked nose - more noticeable at night when he is sleeping - sounds like he is having trouble breathing out of his nose (just over the last couple of nights). Is there anything I can give him for this? I know baby Calpol and soforth is for after 3 months. But what about a child's vaporub (I think you put it on their clothes)? Is this safe?

my hv strongly advised not 2 use vapour rub directly on baby...she said 2 put it in a bowl of boiling water in the living room or something so baby inhales it that way...hope that helps xx

Jay is the same and has been for a few days I've been using saline drops which seem to help ease it and a nasal aspirator. The first time I used it I was pretty grossed out as you actually suck the snot out (but there is a filter it goes into) but it really does work. I bought mine in Boots.

Hope Tristan gets better soon

Just one or two nose drops. Or try steaming him..steaming will help his blocked nose.

We use saline drops and suction her nose out. Then we put baby vaporub on her chest and back. She's been sleeping in her swing so she's more upright instead of laying flat and she's got a vicks vapo-inhaltor thingy that gives off medicated secented vapors right next to her. Doc also told us to give her tylenol cause if she's stuffy she's probably got a sore throat too.
