Lo HATES having her nose wiped, but just will not let me suction it..if we do it, she's screaming and crying, which brings on more snot... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-baby-gets-congested-just-looking-for-tips#post-1162040 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 16:49:57 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1162040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also a Nosefrida fan! It works so well :) if only babies could blow their noses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-baby-gets-congested-just-looking-for-tips#post-1162032 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 16:44:54 +0000 tlcbaby 1162032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you! I am going to try some of this tonight and see if he clears up a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-baby-gets-congested-just-looking-for-tips#post-1162012 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 16:27:27 +0000 mjane 1162012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the steam + saline + nosefrida (which she hates, but whatevs). And if he's super stuffy it can help to nap semi-upright, like in a carseat or a bouncy seat or something. Poor babies who can't prop their head up on five million pillows :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-baby-gets-congested-just-looking-for-tips#post-1161971 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 16:09:03 +0000 mrsjazz 1161971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saline spray, sitting in a steamy bathroom, baby Vicks, cold mist humidifier, and the Nose Frida. Now that she's older we do all the same things but we use the bulb instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-baby-gets-congested-just-looking-for-tips#post-1161963 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 16:03:28 +0000 lepamplemousse 1161963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the Baby Nose Comfy. It's like the Nose Frida but you use a wad of tissue instead of the foam plug thing. I highly recommend either one. The bulb suction never worked for us either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-baby-gets-congested-just-looking-for-tips#post-1161945 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 15:41:04 +0000 shellio 1161945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the nose frida sucker, it worked SO much better for us than the bulb suction when DS was smaller. He didn't like it but it worked well. Once he got past about 12 mos he tolerated the bulb suction better. We also squirt a little bullet of saline in to loosen things up before sucking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-baby-gets-congested-just-looking-for-tips#post-1161900 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 15:11:09 +0000 Penny Lane 1161900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: this.</p> <p>the steam always helps my LO more than anything else I try. good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-baby-gets-congested-just-looking-for-tips#post-1161899 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 15:10:29 +0000 tlcbaby 1161899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Oh! We do that, but I always forget to close the door.

So far, I've been using the Little Noses saline drops and suctioning out what I can see with the bulb syringe. We are also going to start using his humidifier tonight.</p> <p>Are there any other tips you have for when baby gets congested? He seems otherwise to be happy and no fever, but his breathing makes me so sad. :( </p>
