How to Clear Nasal Congestion in Newborns

Dr. Eva Ewers, a pediatrician, unveils invaluable techniques to alleviate nasal congestion in newborns, empowering parents with the knowledge to ensure their little ones breathe with ease. In the delicate world of infants, nasal passages are miniature passageways that are susceptible to congestion. Dr. Ewers sheds light on this common challenge, assuring parents that while nasal congestion itself is typically harmless, swift action can bring sweet relief to both child and caregiver. Through her expert guidance, Dr. Ewers reveals the simple yet effective measures that can be taken in the comfort of your own home. She demonstrates the use of saline nose drops and the proper technique for bulb suction, offering a gentle remedy that clears the path to unhindered breathing.

While nasal congestion may be a mere annoyance, Dr. Ewers advises vigilance when additional symptoms such as coughing or fever arise. In such cases, she encourages parents to seek guidance and make an appointment with their family provider, ensuring comprehensive care and peace of mind.

What a cute and calm baby, I want to kiss her little cheeks. My boy just screamed his head off and we are in a hotel, I’m worried they’ll call cops on us. We both caught terrible cold right before our trip and it got worse on the road. So now we are stuck, him screaming and me not knowing the day, the week, the year! Again, what a cute little one 💙

My nephew screams very loud when his 👃 is being cleaned out

The baby should not be laying down while doing that…. The correct way to do it is sitting forward to do the nasal cleaning… some doctors don’t even know what they’re doing. Be aware parents… just do some research.. this video is not doing anything good…
