I don't know what to do
Jordana's nose is so stuffed!! I used the Little Noses drops (DH picked them out- not the spray, the drops), but they don't seem to be working. She seems so uncomfortable. She kept waking up last night crying, but would go back to sleep after I gave her the pacifier.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: I don't know what to do
Did you use the nasal aspirator with the nose drops?
Mikey screams when we do it, but it totally helps.

Re: I don't know what to do
Nose drops and the boogie sucker are your best friends.
Also while she's sleeping at night, try to keep her head slightly elevated to make her more comfortable.

I agree... Also a little baby's vap rub might help. We've also used those vapo plugs from pediacare.

Re: I don't know what to do
I agree with the boogie snatcher. Also plenty of fluids, but feed her as upright as possible (think of drinking milk when you have a cold ). One thing I used to do if my kids weren't eating because of a cold is I would put eucalyptus oil on a napkin & put it near them (not too much - it's pretty strong). Vicks also has a sticker you can put on them.
Boogie Snatcher instructions (since most people don't know to plug a nostril):
Saline drops in
Squeeze/depress Boogie snatcher
Insert in clogged nostril
Hold down uncloggged nostril
Release/unsqueeze boggie snatcher
Squish boogie snatcher on a napkin/rinse with warm water to get boogies out.
Repeat.
*If you rinse & squish boogie snatcher with water make sure ALL of the water is out before repeating. They hate when they get water squeezed up their nose.
eta. if worse comes to worse, you can have her sleep in a car seat to alleviate the stuffiness.

Re: I don't know what to do
I put some Johnson's vapor rub on him (very little but it isn't that strong), I also use the saline drops and I put the humidifier on in his room when he sleeps. I Also put a small pillow under one side of the crib for a week but he kept sliding to the bottom. He is still congested but not nearly as bad as he was. Hope she feels better.

Re: I don't know what to do
A little wacky - granted, but they say you can use breast milk with a dropper in the babies nose. Also, I woud suggest a humidifier in her room if she's stuffy.
