My Baby Has A Blocked Nose And Is Having Trouble Breathing?
04/07/09
I took her to the doc 2day and he just said to squirt some breast milk up there, it doesnt seem 2 be working.
She keeps choking because she is breathing it down her throat.

try saline solution with the nose sucker, also steam from the bathroom may help loosen the mucus, my son had 3 cold each time it seems he has trouble breathing, best luck
You should definitely invest in a warm steam humidifier. Vick’s makes a one that puts out a lot of steam. You can find it a Wal-Mart or Target for around $15. Also use the nasal aspirator they gave you at the hospital. Sometimes it helps to hold one nostril closed while suctioning the other nostril. Your little one will NOT enjoy this but it will help. I wouldn’t squirt breast milk in her nose at all! She will just breath it in and it will just go down the back of her throat which will be even more uncomfortable for her! You can also find Vick’s Baby Rub. It’s just like the Vick’s VapoRub from back in the day, but it’s made for babies. It’s less harsh and has ingredients like lavender. I swore by it for my little ones and still do even though they are all school-aged now. Not only does it help with their congestion, it’s very calming. Good luck and I hope your little one gets better soon.
Go to the pharmacy and try sodium chloride solutions. It’s just salt water. It helps break up the mucus that is caught, and she’ll either sneeze it out, or she’ll swallow it, but it will help her breathe easier. Also try a humidifier.
They have a saline solution made by “Little Noses” You spray it up there nose and then suction. Worked wonders for my 1 year old.
