While trying to keep grandma’s fingers out of their noses — she seems to take delight in removing the crusty ones — I found some solutions to clear up my babies’ stuffiness.
- Take baby into the bathroom after someone took a hot shower. The steam will help clear up their little buttons.
- Try a humidifier in the baby’s room. This will keep the air flowing and possibly alleviate too much snot.
- Have baby smell spices. Cumin and onions seem to clear up my nose every time. I don’t like the smell of onions, but hey, it’s a natural remedy and this I like. Obviously don’t let any powders go up baby’s nose.
- Get a Nosefrida. My friend Freyja likes “The Snot Sucker” for her son. It reduces mucus and helps baby breathe easier again. What do you do when baby has a little cold? Image via Nosefrida
