What about nasal rinsing for a 1-month-old baby?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Nasal rinsing is generally not recommended for 1-month-old babies. At this age, nasal passages are very small and delicate. If your baby is having trouble breathing, physical methods can be tried first: a few drops of sterile saline solution (drops, not spray) followed by gentle nasal suctioning with an aspirator.
Nasal rinsing — forcing fluid with pressure (Neti pot, syringe rinsing) — is risky in 1-month-olds and can cause infection, middle ear infection, or breathing difficulty. It should only be done if specifically directed by your pediatrician and using the technique they demonstrate. Do not attempt this at home on your own.
