Nose cleaning for a 1-month-old baby must be done gently and carefully. Your baby's airway is very narrow and sensitive, so these methods are considered safe:
First, instill a few drops of sterile saline solution (saltwater) — this softens dry mucus. After a few minutes, gently suction with a rubber-bulb nasal aspirator (baby nose pump). Never use cotton swabs (ear swabs) — they can irritate your baby's nose or push the mucus deeper. Before suctioning, always use saline solution; suctioning dry mucus can be painful.
Don't do this more than 2-3 times daily; excessive cleaning can irritate the nasal tissue. If your baby has difficulty breathing, can't feed, or has a fever, consult your pediatrician.
