2-month-old baby nasal congestion? Everyone around me says something different.

Nasal congestion in a 2-month-old is genuinely confusing when everyone gives different advice. This age group can only breathe through their nose, so congestion really bothers them and can affect feeding and sleep.
You can try something simple first: a few drops of saline solution (the drug-free nasal drops you buy at the pharmacy) followed by gently suctioning with a nasal aspirator. Humidifying the room also helps, especially if heat runs in winter.
When to talk to your pediatrician: If your baby's working hard to breathe, has noisy breathing, won't feed well, has a fever 38°C or higher, or congestion lasts 10+ days, see your doctor. This age, if it looks like a cold it might be, but there could also be something else, so professional judgment matters.
Hold him upright when sleeping; that helps a bit. Most baby colds pass quickly, but watching his breathing and feeding is key at this age.
