Saline nasal spray - how often?

[Louppey]

My LO is really snuffly at the moment, I got some saline drops & a spray. She hated the drops, screamed the house down, so I decided to brave the spray today. She didn't even flinch!!

I have the one from Boots, the only problem is I don't have any idea how often I can use it? There's no leaflet in the box & it doesn't say how often on the box.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have one from boots and it says you can use it every hour, but I use it every 2, if needed

Thanks Hun

I use the calpol one for rory and it just says use when necessary. There isn't anything in it that could cause harm its all natural. X

My GP did say that it can dry out their little noses a bit much, so she recommended just using it before feeds (as the sucking action can help it to work).

I use it just before a feed so she can breathe while drinking or she gasps for air and then swallows air and its a nightmare.. X
