Infant stuffy noses, often from colds or allergies, can be safely managed with natural health techniques that prioritize gentle mucus clearance. Saline nasal drops thin mucus, making it easier to remove with a bulb syringe. A cool-mist humidifier keeps nasal passages moist, preventing crusty buildup. Elevating the crib mattress slightly aids drainage during sleep. Breast milk, rich in antibodies, can be dropped into the nose to reduce inflammation. Avoiding smoke exposure prevents irritation. These methods, grounded in pediatric care principles, support an infant’s respiratory health without harsh interventions, ensuring comfort and easier breathing.
