Does Your Newborn Have a Stuffy Nose? Advice from a Pediatrician

When your newborn has a stuffy nose or is congested, it can feel like a nightmare. They aren’t sleeping well. They aren’t eating well. They’re fussy. And when your infant isn’t eating or sleeping, then that means that you probably aren’t either.

Don’t panic. 

We’ve teamed up with Dr. Katie, a mom, pediatrician and blogger at Forever Freckled, to share some helpful tips on reducing congestion in infants and newborns.

This information is not intended to be medical advice. If your infant is struggling with congestion, please consult with your pediatrician.

How to Reduce Congestion in Infants – Advice from Dr. Katie

Dr. Katie recommends using Boogie® Saline Spray + Drops to help alleviate congestion in infants. Boogie® Saline Spray + Drops are on-medicated and made with natural saline to help ease baby's congestion. The dual action tip is specially designed for controlled dropping or gentle spraying.

The Boogie® Micro-Mist Saline Inhaler is also safe for all ages and a great way to break up your little one's congestion. Made with 100% sterile saline, it gently moisturizes and soothes the upper respiratory tract to help relieve congestion and discomfort. Simply hover the mask over your baby's face for 1-5 minutes and let them breath normally to inhale the natural saline. You can even use it while they sleep!

As always, if you have questions or are worried about your infant, call your pediatrician.
