You don't need to limit nasal aspirator use to a specific number of times per day—it can be used as needed. However, the general pediatric recommendation is this:
If nasal congestion prevents your baby from breathing, feeding, or sleeping, using it before feeding and before bedtime is usually sufficient. Using it more than 3-4 times daily can irritate the nose and increase swelling, which worsens congestion. Before each use, apply saline drops or spray for a few minutes to thin the mucus, wait 1-2 minutes, then aspirate.
Red flag: If congestion lasts longer than a week, comes with fever, or there's green or dark yellow discharge, consult your pediatrician.
