Clear Baby Nose With Water

Clean around the nose during the bath.

Clear baby nose with water.

If your baby has congestion and mucus around or under their nose clean this area during a bath. The playtime will distract from their discomfort and the warm water can help clear nasal congestion. However you shouldn t give water to babies under 6 months of age. Gently wipe around the nostrils without putting the tissue deep into the baby s nose.

Wait for 30 to 60 seconds. Rub a small amount of bath water or gently apply a wet washcloth around the nose area. Clean the dropper after every use. Run a hot shower for a few minutes.

Collect mucus on a tissue. When they re spitting up lots of clear liquid you may think that your baby needs water to avoid dehydration. Place the tip gently into your baby s nostril. Wash it with soap and water after each use.

This helps clear out the nose and remove any mucus under the nose. Steam up the bathroom. Turn around the baby onto his stomach to let the nose drain. Put two to three drops of saline water into the baby s nose with a dropper.

A baby who can sit may enjoy taking a warm bath. When the bathroom is steamy sit in the room with baby for a bit.
