DD (3mo) sometimes gets stuffy at night, and last night was particularly bad. She doesn't seem sick otherwise, though, and there's no snot coming out -- it just seems like her sinuses are blocked up. I slept on the floor in her room for part of the night because I was worried about her breathing (she was fine). When she woke up for the day, it seemed to have mostly cleared. We do run a humidifier in her room but I'm not sure how much it helps. Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure whether it warrants a call to the doctor or not.

Ya, we deal with it a lot during the winter. I hope she feels better!

Mine is like this. I have yet to determine what the issue is. I'm interested to see what others have to say!

Have you tried a humidifier? We set one up in LO's room and it totally helps his runny nose!

My 23 month old had been in the same boat for weeks. It would have totally worried me if he was an infant, though. I'm just chalking it up to the heater and seasonal allergies.

Thanks, all. It just kills me to hear her little snuffly-snorts and it makes BFing sort of challenging because she doesn't breathe properly and then chokes on the milk. She usually starts breathing better as she eats, though, so I was almost wondering if she was feeling a little dehydrated? I don't know. We'll keep an eye on it and call the doctor if it seems too bad, otherwise we'll mention it at her next well visit in a couple weeks.
