A home remedy is 8 ounces of boiled water (cooled) 1/8 teaspoon of table salt

shake til mixed use 2 to 3 drops in each nostril every 3-4 hours and it dries

the nose up quickly without the bad effects of nose sprays or drops.This can

also be used by adults too.The good thing is it is easy to make in the middle

of the night.It works for post nasal drip too.Sometimes we did it while in the

upside down position for PT then it got up in her sinuses.I hope this

helps.BeckyB.-Mama to 8 -2w/cf-Nana to 2

,

I do not know at what age babies learned to breath through their

mouth when they have a stuffy nose. I think Liam is too young to be

able to do so. I always keep saline drops in my house, they are

readily available at any drugstore and very inexpensive. It is nice

to know the recipe below, because it works like a charm. I use to

put it in my 3 children's nose, when they were babies, and then with

a suction pear, suck all that yuck out. Babies can have a lot of

yuck, when they have a cold, specially our cf babies.

Have you tried saline drops and suctioning it out with a bulb syringe? Thats

what we used to do. Also if you get the doc's OK you can use a product like

Afrin, a nasal decongestant that comes as drops or spray. It is important to

only use it for up to 4 days in a row and no more, or what your doc tells

you. Babies are miserable when they can't breathe through their noses and

this can help. Just don't do the Afrin too often.
