Baby nose strips are products sold in pharmacies that stick to your baby's nostrils to mechanically try to open congested noses. However, pediatric practice says: these strips are not recommended for young babies (especially those under 6 months). Your baby's skin is very sensitive; they can cause irritation when removed, the strip may not stick well enough to be effective, or it may make your baby uncomfortable and cause crying. For nasal congestion, safer and proven methods are: saline solution (sterile salt water) drops/spray for nasal washing, using an aspirator (nasal bulb) to suction mucus, humidifying the air in the room (with a humidifier or steam), and gently elevating the head of the bed. If congestion is affecting feeding or breathing, consult your pediatrician.
