A nose rinse—using saline solution (saline) drops or spray to moisten and clean your baby's nasal passages—is a safe and effective method, especially during congestion or dry air conditions. It can be used regardless of the baby's age (including the newborn period).
Application: Lay your baby on their back and gently turn their head to the side. Apply 1-2 drops (drop form) or one puff (spray form) to each nostril. Wait 30-60 seconds, then help excess fluid and softened mucus drain by lifting your baby's head or turning them over. With older babies (6 months+), a thin-tipped nasal aspirator can gently suction, but this is best reserved for when truly needed rather than daily use.
Important: The bottle tip should not touch the inside wall of your baby's nostril; it should be cleaned after each use. Choose ready-made baby saline solutions from pharmacies. Homemade saline is not recommended; non-sterile water carries infection risk. If congestion lasts longer than a week, comes with fever, your baby can't feed well, or breathing sounds change, consult your pediatrician.
