We have it but I can't do it. So that doesn't help much at night. I also think why he's so awake is cleaning his nose wakes him up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/congestion#post-1974139 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 08:29:25 +0000 butterbean 1974139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: that's what our ped said too...the best we can do is try to help her be comfortable while nursing (the congestion doesn't seen to affect her feeding so I'm not too worried)</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: have you tried nose frida? I'm surprised at the snot that I suck out thru that thing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/congestion#post-1974130 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 08:10:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1974130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: last night was only night 2 but he's been up from like 1-3 congested and last night wouldn't even nurse because he couldn't breath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/congestion#post-1974114 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 07:38:59 +0000 MenagerieMama 1974114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO hangs out in the bathroom when I shower and she gets some good sneezes out. Overall she just sounds really snorty but as long as she is not in distress trying to breath or having problems eating I just let her do her snorty newborn thing. Maybe I'm a horrible mother and need to be more snot aggressive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/congestion#post-1974095 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 06:31:47 +0000 butterbean 1974095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: what we've been doing is steam shower, then nose frida frequently and hold upright whenever possible (including sleeping)...she still is congested but we are making progress...how long has you lo been congested? Hope he feels better soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/congestion#post-1974063 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 03:24:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1974063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump?!? I need any additional suggestions. My next step is the couch so he can sleep upright. Already did a 3 am shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/congestion#post-1962813 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 19:17:36 +0000 HLK208 1962813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sit with LO, in the bathroom with the shower running so the steam can break up some of the congestion. I also use baby Vicks on her for every nap and at night. Love that stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/congestion#post-1962805 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 18:36:02 +0000 butterbean 1962805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any tips on how to ease an infant's nasal congestion? And how long until it goes away??</p> <p>It just breaks my heart to hear my lo all nasally but it's not affecting her eating....I frequently use saline drips and nose frida on her (which she hates) and it provides some temporary relief... </p>
